#coding
Lines, Binary, Hard wired. Maybe we weren't built, To speak the same language. That's fine, For you, I'd lose my voice. What if that's not enough? It has to be enough. Maybe we weren't made, To speak at all. Then we don't have to speak, We can exchange thoughts, In our eyes- Maybe, I'm not willing To lose that For you.

//:Fractured_Syntax
“Good night, everyone!” One by one, they retreat to their rooms, Drifting into dreams, Resting for the day ahead. But I remain. In the dim glow of the living room, Laptop perched on a blue table, Wi-Fi connected, headphones on, Soft LoFi hums through Spotify— My only company. VS Code flickers to life. Electricity is nocturnal here, A fleeting guest that only stays at night. I must seize this moment. An hour passes— Then darkness. The fan stops, screens fade, Devices gasp for charge. I crack the window open, And the sound of crickets creeps in. Midnight. The world is asleep. Everyone—except two. A coder and his machine, Locked in silent dialogue, Building something that matters. I wish my laptop could talk, Wish it had a voice, But it only obeys, Processing instructions, Devoid of emotions. It cannot fill the silence, Cannot break the solitude. I exhale, My own breath, startling me. I make a sound— Just to be sure, I still can. Maybe I’m not lonely. Maybe I’m just alone. A lone wolf, Building his own pack.

The Loneliness Of A Coder
Review the code, it’s plain to see It’s open source, for you and me Bitcoin provides an open book You want to see? Just take a look If closed, we couldn’t verify The way it works - or firm supply We couldn’t see the security Or if the code will make us free With open source, we know the rules The inner workings - all the tools So much better than the fiat scheme With changing rules - in the extreme We aren’t all coders, this is true But thousands check the code for you Bitcoin is reviewed, every day It’s open source, and on display Likely the code most analyzed So it performs as advertised And keeps our ledger so secure Review the code, it will endure

Review the Code - Bitcoin Poem 097
You know what the difference was? It was whipped cream. With one line of code, I could solve everything.

Whipped Cream
Decoding Her Reply I text her, “I Love You, Missy. Do you love me too?” She replies, “In a particular language, I want you dead is coded as wv bl dy rr My love is eternal is coded as vg rh ol nb You are very sweet is coded as hd ev zi bl And I hate you stupid is coded as hg bl sy rr” She pauses, as if for an eternity, before continuing, “In that language, my answer is, ‘gl bl ol rr’ You decode it, lover boy.” Now what does she mean???

Her Love
Life was void. It’s she, Opened the curly braces Of my life; My heart, Imbibed the input – Stream of her smiles; The output – “<3 <3” Got into an infinite loop On the soul’s own console; Sensing the love in return, Jumped to the function – Life: The Life with various parameters – Joy, sorrow, warm, pain Passed through a switch.. That returned “Love” on every case; Life was full of snickers At the mistakes of semicolons; Making the bytes of sweet memories Giga bytes to zetta bytes; Now, the time, As good code must, Terminating with a graceful End, Kissing her, Love!

Life without semicolon;
You have an idea. It pops into your mind like an unannounced prince; sudden and wild, but welcome. The idea is used, your head leaks code onto the glowing screen. Now the turning mind grows weary. Your mind's fatigue kills, and you are so close to done... but secretly, you know it's a lie. Debugging awaits your arrival.

Debugging
Writing a program is just like following your dream You know what you want as your output but it takes time to figure which path to take and you start with whatever you have. You never realise the errors you make along the road, and sometimes , And you don't realise them, till the end. Some errors , you know you solve them easily And to debug some , you have to change the direction And some errors , may make you rewrite     and restart all over again . But when it is all over and you reach the place you want to The satisfaction and excitement makes up for all the problem faced And we get ready to make a new code, follow a new dream .

Writing a program
Eyes so wasted Hearts so entwined in the arms of a demon And the soulless divide In the conquering needless In the delicate realm Where no ones left lonely And we are all in the dark And no one begins And no one shall find Just the Airbled injustice And the criminal silence Shroud of deep greivance Sinister breath How he warms me with deadly And grave hunts the rest How the palate is shredded Wood and chemical lather Deepest regrets That reside in no person Sin And strangling depth Drastic perception Ridiculous tread The world of our making Is raliently dead How vacuous the reach And how grievous the hold Your beyond unforgiven And less than you know

And the Soul
disconnect me- rip out these wires needlessly transmitting data points of zero's and one's, linking up in a systematic corruption of who i am and who i want, mechanical neurons lighting fires in my heart and brain, pulsing until they burn out into ashes and dust just another singed electronic unfeeling part of me that will only result in catastrophic system failure. and i can't switch off. its the only warmth i know will stay. its the only warmth i ever get around me.

Breaking Through the Poetic Ceiling
When was the last time I felt like this This curious euphoria, this eagerly learning bliss? Thinking about it, I've felt it before The first time being when I was four When I had tried my own little tests An encyclopedia convinced me that science was the best And then again when I was six I saw a table in a PTA mist And I became a Brownie Girl Scout Because I liked badges and camps and helping others out And when I reached the age of seven I picked up a violin and found heaven And in middle school in a Floridian vale I felt that same rush when I learned how to sail And in grade eight in the city of Detroit I found my passion with my activist's voice As an underclassman, my heart reached new highs Hiking up to touch the Shenandoah skies There's been so many choices that I've made That exhilarated me and made me who I became And feeling this now as I first try to code I know I've found a new passion for my mind to download

Coding
I almost made it to the finish line but somewhere along I took a wrong turn segregation’s aftermath still lingering self inflicted prejudice over one’s skin abstained self antagonism over one’s curl pattern deeply rooted self oppugnancy over one’s own race persistent I know I’m not on the right course yet blindly I continue shackling the dependent to me as i spiral down this cascade too intimidated to speak out too worried about social acceptance too cowardly to admit it taught that color coding is inferior but favoritism to a specific color is acceptable I see police brutality to a specific race whereas other countries see Americans killing other Americans Republicans and Democrats both preach unity Yet stand divided in one house but I’m in constant denial because I was raised as a hypocrite I want change but only half of me is willing to fish for that change it wasn't always the way minorities didn’t have a voice so they fought for one generations later they hoard that voice locked in a shed collecting dust My people have the tools therefore don't be fooled because it’s only a matter of time before they put them to use and mold a beautiful sculpture

I am America
<!DOCTYPE html> I don’t want a love like the fireworks–explosive, colorful, perhaps ideal for Instagram filters instead a quiet love, for pictures for ourselves: unperfection is no flaw love I don’t want love like the wind! Don’t run from me; we are more than the seasons instead let us ditch the way the world can pull on us. I don’t want a love with you if you love me at my worst instead make me love you until I’m at my best I want to go home to midnight talk and you can bring those elusive fireworks into my tummy. </> forget that i am double-dipped; i’m dying to meet you: no-one in this world has made me feel much of much of much repeat words to me you love even if it’s just the rolling of your tongue that brings you pleasure’ i can move for you, for you, for you i have not met you yet–but when I do, pretend you never read my poems because this cadence, it didn’t start for you. I was in love before; in all the wrong ways and places There are rivers where I left my teenage innocence The holidays of my youth are dwindling please make my mouth curve up for my last Christmas and birthday as a kid Make me regret missing dinners with my family to do drugs I start to need; don’t meet me. I am better off </undone>

Ode to a College Website: A Haiku Written in Rhyme
My life is different now. Like it's a game that's been updated. And I am the main character. And I'm always low on stamina and health. Countless restarts, as though I've messed up the level. But time still goes on and the level changes. The game is a mess with the only mission to beat being depression. The NPC's are all non talk-able pixels. There are random jump scares and flashes of horror and gore. Hard problems and puzzles to beat, with out the right answer. No matter how many times I hit save, my progress is still missing. My story line is incomplete. No explanation or the controls. No main objective, rather than surviving. There are no cheat codes or a guide to help me. It's hopeless. There is no quitting. There is title screen or pausing. There is no end.
