Coming out as multi-color
A poem about coming out, leaving the past self behind, and learning to see color again
She’s a multi-colored sheep
Made of both gold and coal
Graduated with high honors
And with her own beliefs
She drinks so she doesn’t remember
Why she regrets it the next morning
She’s pink, purple, and blue
But her mom sees it black and white
Right-handed, left-minded
A ragdoll sewn together
With a dress covering all her patches
They are the heart of the doll
They do not want pink or blue
They are still black and white
But also yellow and purple
They see each color for it’s magnificence
And helps others to the beauty of the rainbow
They are named for the sun after a long winter
Allowing the trees to blossom after the cold
They are proud of their patches
And many, many stitches
And they know a sheet of coal
Will turn into a diamond

~ 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.

Time to change your life.
Is it even possible for you to change your life? A lot of people, more than there should be, are unhappy with their lives. But what are they doing about it? Usually nothing. People talk about how shitty their lives are and want change, but are they not taking the actions to change?
