I didn’t come here to fight.
I came to remember.

I came to remind myself — and maybe you —
that we are not just tax IDs, barcodes, or ad targets.

That it’s possible to live,
not just survive.

That a home is not a mortgage,
and a job doesn’t have to be a slow betrayal of the soul.

I came to light a candle —
not to blind anyone,
but so someone lost in the dark might say:

“I’m not alone.”

I’m not looking for applause.
I’m looking for truth.

I am not against the system.
I am for something more.

For life where people talk, not just scroll.
For moments of stillness, without notifications.
For breaths that aren’t owned by deadlines.
For love that doesn’t ask for net worth.

I won’t destroy the Matrix.
But I’ll light a fire where it least expects it.

Because it only takes one heart
that refuses to bow
for the illusion to crack.
