When I'm Depressed

As a band of brothers, born connected in factory,
his tedious blade cut apart our unity as we laid.
We harnessed power as a grid, so near, yet far
in cool, dark days, boxed, undelivered -- perfect
until thin Styrofoam slid from surface, captured.

We connected to a new grid, electrified, explored
by tender, sweaty hands fumbling in eerie glow.
A cherub, illuminated an insurgent, prying, plying
into portals that employed renewed rebels digitally.
In a storm room, pain and suffering, she was consumed.

A nation of brothers under palm were her depressed.
Notes played, in tunnels to realms she sought coexist,
not careful, stained and crumbed a depressed land.
Her agony growing, not a symphony, composing
anthems about identity, when in finality was a man.

Words never spoken in his room to worried parents,
he employed us. Multi-dimensional worlds collided,
broke apart. Keystrokes ever changing, erasing, returned
a dark heart's song that depressed us again and again.
Struck in agony, virtually, in this tunnel nearing victory.

Uniform with the one, we warred with other nations, fought
a battle of good versus evil. Our keys struck harmony,
melody for those who could see our deployed need.
In the real world, she is he. In this multi-verse, now
undivided, we can coexist with a world of depressed.

Stoic, rigidly we transitioned mutually, respectfully.
Solemn nights alone, beneath those sweaty hands,
tender now. Peace restored in his land of confusion.
A band of troubadours sing in key, for the heart true
in identity; contextually, characters coexist with one.

Prompt  Object:
COMPUTER KEYBOARD


Keyboards are molds cut apart by hand to expose molded keys, tightly pressed back together after being socketed to corresponding switches.

Idea is keyboard thinks itself a nation with keys that are depressed (double meaning) by the user composing sad anthems this nation of keyboard helps express.

idea and concept…gender dysphoria leads to transgenderism in transformative poem? A sad and lonely process where the keyboard is empathetic, helps unify the young cherub in transformation to find friends, help, support and true identity in process.

Hard to personify a keyboard without sounding silly.
