Have you ever thought about your computer cursor?
How it goes wherever you move it with the mouse
There are crevices it can hide in but it's still there
Trapped in its 4x4 box
Being directed around the screen
Glitches happen where the screen freezes and the cursor can't move
It often gets blamed for it and we try to click harder
Or move the mouse sporadically
To try and get the cursor to click something or move
But it can't when the screen is frozen
Let's think about the people who are controlled
Not allowed to make their own decisions
Just having to follow orders with their head hung low
Not allowed to speak unless spoken to
Just doing everything that is asked of them
At first it seems silly to compare these two things
The cursor is a part of a computer program
Why does it matter?
It should matter as much as the person being controlled
You should be appreciative and see how hard both work
So what if it's a program, it follows the best it can
Just like how the person being controlled is doing their best
And they don't get appreciated
They wonder if they deserve this treatment
But they don't
They deserve to be loved and cherished
They just forget that from all the harsh treatment
And even sometimes punishes themselves
They forget their true worth
They developed demons
They developed fears
And they hold onto them
Thinking they deserve it
When they don't
They really don't
Because they have people who love them
And that's what they deserve
Love
Not control.
