Analysis of Memory Hacked

Kurt Philip Behm

When you’re inside,
  you can always get out

But stuck outside,
  you must plead and then shout

“please let me
  please let me
  please let me in”

This darkness unending,
  my veneer wearing thin

“please let me
  please let me
  please let me back”

My key has been stolen
  —my memory hacked
