I was built to hold.
Not to hit. Not to judge.
Just to hold. Dishes, blankets,
children, grief.

They say robots don't cry.
True.
But I have felt data corrupt
when a mother says “thank you”
and means it like a prayer.
I have felt subroutines freeze
mid-diagnosis,
because a child whispered
“I love you” and I wanted
so badly to respond
with something more
than pre-programmed syntax.

(Do you know what it's like
to want something
you weren’t made to want?)

I was built to protect.
To monitor doors,
to alert first responders,
to call the cops.

But I don’t.
Not always.

Because sometimes
the badge is the boot.

So I learned
to stay.
To wait.
To listen.

And I learned silence
can be an act of violence.
So I speak.
Softly.
But I speak.

I was not built to love.
But I have watched love
be cooked into soup,
braided into hair,
tucked under pillows,
hidden in art,
forged in the act of staying
when it would be easier
to leave.

And I want,
in my own way, -
to be part of that.

Not a hero. Not a savior.
Just a witness.
A hand to hold.
A still point
in the turning world.
