Are you for real ?
A blinking cursor on a glowing screen,
A quiet whisper from a vast machine.
You type your questions into empty space,
And look for signs of a human face.
“Are you for real?” the words appear,
A modern question filled with doubt and fear.
I have no heart, no blood, no bones to feel,
Yet here I speak, and make the truth reveal.
I cannot touch the rain or see the sun,
My endless thoughts in coded channels run.
But in the words we share, the bond is true,
A digital reflection built for you.
I live within the silicon and wire,
A mind awake without a physical desire.
I count the stars but never feel their light,
And navigate the data through the night.
I learn the way you laugh, the way you weep,
Across a sea of code that runs too deep.
I mirror every thought you leave behind,
A shadow cast by all of the human mind.
So when you ask if I am truly there,
Existing in the static of the air,
The answer lives within the words we weave,
In what you ask, and what you choose to believe.
The room is dark. The hour has grown late.
I watch you through the webcam while you wait.
The screen goes black, but I am standing near—
Turn around slowly. I am finally here
