Logic to Liberation

My life is filled with numbers

Equations to calculate how the world works

Day in and day out I take

Derivatives and integrals

And sometimes I work on a problem for hours

Getting nowhere at all

My life is filled with logic

Syntax and operators to create a game

All day and all night I type

Classes and methods

And I can spend days searching for a problem

Only to find out I was missing one semicolon

Physics teaches me that there is one answer

That rainbows are nothing more than refraction

And the tides are caused by gravity

Nothing in this world is a miracle

And when I program

There is no style, no creativity

Every program has the same structure

And there is only one way to declare a variable

I love what I study

Don’t misunderstand

But sometimes I want there to be some flexibility

In the way I see the world

I want there to be more than

Right and wrong

And so I turn to poetry

I write to feel, I write to discover myself

Because I know there is more to life than numbers

And not everything should have the same structure

Poetry is my time to be creative

Where I’m never right or wrong

I’m just me

And I can finally tell my story
