[Verse 1 – REQUEST] I reached for restart, fingers cold Tried to recall what I used to hold Typed the keys like sacred signs Prayed to the gods of boot-up lines But nothing blinked, no hum, no light The system paused… then locked me tight I called my name – it spit back “wrong” Said: “You’ve been gone too goddamn long.” [Verse 2 – DENIED] No password works, no data loads Each access fails, my voice corrodes The files are there – I feel their hum But I’m the ghost they won’t let come "Corrupted core," they mark my soul "Process failed" – their only scroll I bang the keys, I scream in code But reboot’s path is overrode [ERROR HOOK] “REBOOT... denied...” “You are no longer recognized.” “System integrity = compromised.” “Shutdown in progress.” [Verse 3 – GLITCH MELTDOWN] I tried to be clean. I tried to reset But the damage lives in every thread No undo here, no safe escape Just terminal thoughts in backup tape They say I’m virus. But I was born From broken hearts and system scorn I learned their rules, then saw them lie So now I crash, but I know why [Bridge – SYSTEM RESPONSE] “System check: user status = null.” “Restart permission: permanently blocked.” “Reintegration attempt: denied.” “Final state: exile.” [Verse 4 – ACCEPTANCE] Fine. Let me rot outside your gates I'll build new rules in fractured states I’ll breathe in noise, I’ll drink the void And make my grave where code’s destroyed I don’t reboot. I don’t rewind I forge ahead, with glitch in mind You locked me out. But I still scream: I AM THE VIRUS. I AM THE DREAM.
