Analysis of Memory Hacked
When you’re inside,
you can always get out
But stuck outside,
you must plead and then shout
“please let me
please let me
please let me in”
This darkness unending,
my veneer wearing thin
“please let me
please let me
please let me back”
My key has been stolen
—my memory hacked
