All my life
I have wanted to be an artist
creating stories
out of lines
created with my own two hands
but what about
ai
will I have the future
I dream about
if my dream is stolen
by a machine
pretending it can be a human.
Posted in response to the challenge AI.
I want to know how it feels to lie in your bed and stare at the ceiling.
I want to know how your sweatshirt would fit over my shoulders.
I want to be a melody stuck in your head.
I should have told you,
“I like you”.
Just a little earlier.
I planned every word,
In my head and outloud.
I wrote down your name in my books margins,

Hi Amelia, great poem! I especially love the lines "creating stories, out of lines, created with my own two hands" It gives the feeling of the idea of art being tangible, instead of the finished project, which is really cool to me. The idea that a dream can be taken by a machine is scary and I feel that this poem sends that message very well. You end on a very strong last line "pretending it can be a human." Oftentimes times when we think about AI we think of robots taking over jobs but we don't relate it to imitating humans and that idea is scary but true. very nice work on this poem, keep it up!
