I’m anonymous — I like it that way
I know who you are — I like you my prey
I take what I want — destroying the rest
I learned a long time ago — it’s easiest
creating my code — that makes me smart
opening doors — now that’s my art
I think I’m smarter — you homo sapiens
but in truth — just angrier than Chechens
I live in a free world — do whatever I like
oppressed am I — I watch for every slight
tired of being poor — don’t patronize me
I’ll give you my finger — I’m not your “buddy”
I am trust in an empty horse — I am betrayal
I am confusion — fear’s portrayal
I’m a a logic puzzle — twice all zeroes
at once all ones — all-in-black heroes
I don’t have the patience — give me some time
I’ll steal your life — take every last dime
cause what’s yours is mine — all mine
open this email — trust me, it’s fine.

Submitted as part of “National/Global Poetry Writing Month” (#NaPoWriMo #GloPoWriMo).
Today’s prompt: Today, I’d like to challenge you to write your own dramatic monologue. It doesn’t have to be quite as serious as Browning or Shakespeare, of course, but try to create a sort of specific voice or character that can act as the “speaker” of your poem, and that could be acted by someone reciting the poem.
