You broke my heart a long time ago
Rings on fingers that made me stay
Your destructive words lashed out
Unwanted hands on skin
I will break this vow
For I deserve
Everything
Head high
Free

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.

I enjoyed reading this so much! Very relatable poem!
Great twist. I was led to believe the other would break the vow, but if there’s ever a good reason this is it. Great poem powerful message and much respect
GREAT poem. Although my husband (my ex, that is) never raised his hand to me, he also was never faithful. One day, he just walked out. Decided he wanted someone younger. I vowed to myself that I'd survive and I did! My sons are happily married men but only God knows what might have been in "he" stayed. Thank you for the reminder that we are all strong when we need to be.
This feels devastating, justifiably, during those first few lines, and then ultimately feels very empowering! Well written, Christina! Great entry.
