I know somewhere beneath my metal shell
There are wings, waiting to spread
I find myself jammed between mountains
I never meant to start a war
I just said what I said so that I could
Feel like I was something more
I found myself jammed between oppression
I ripped myself a brand new hole
So I could remove the tin can
That they gave me for a soul
I didn’t want a VCR for a mouth
Or a number on my neck
I wouldn’t let you stick another tape in
Or control my life with the prick
Of your super control pin
Are we really living or are we just giving
Back what they put in
I know somewhere beneath my metal shell
There are wings, full of thorns

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

Thank you all for your posts.  The wing thing was just a metaphor for hope.  It's like there may be hope somewhere beneath my metal shell, but that hope is dangerously damaged.  Thanks again, you're all so wonderful.

wow, um. This is amazing. There are almost no words to describe how well done this was. I like the robot type feel. I see a lot of metal and greys. It was an excellent write, that I will safe and read again and again I'm sure.
Thanks.
