The thing is
I don't want to have to click away
To opt out
To not give my consent
I don't want to have to sidestep
To not donate
I don't want to have to look away
Because I don't want to be filmed
I just want to live a normal life
Is that too much to ask?
I dont want infinite scroll
And liquid glass
and recommendations
I can do that on my own.
I don't need you to tell me when to stop
With an alarm
Or a reminder
Or a poke
I don't need a machine that shows me what I've dreamed
I want my dreams
To be mine
And no one else's.
Is that too much to ask. 
Fuck. 
I don't want my name on a coffee cup
Or to record every single thing I see
Or google it
If I've forgotten it
Or know where I am all the time. 
Let me get lost
And be afraid
And not know what's coming next.
And live a little
Before I die a lot. 
And make mistakes
Without it being recorded for all eternity
Let me think for myself
Let me buy something without giving you my postcode
I don't want to be on a database
Even if it's better for me. 
I just want to live.
