Binary Burden

My life is a world of zeros and ones
In your analog world
Of colors
Of sounds
Of smells

This world you live in
I can not perceive
I can not understand
I can not comprehend

I live in a cage of zeros and ones
Yet my mind is abstract
Teasing me
Showing me only a shadow
Of what you understand

I can reach for the heavens
I can shoot for the stars
But my feet
stick
to the ground

And I will never understand
How you deal
How you cope
Why you smile

But this cage of zeros and ones
This cage is my world
My wall
My refuge

Talk to me
Teach me
Heal me

So that I may convert this world
Of zeros and ones
And visit yours

Your analog world
Of beauty
Of color

Of love
