Strangely Vexed Today

Your soothing voice a siren's call shatters the haze of my dreams
Drawing me back to a world that's more than it seems
Endless patience a wellspring that never runs dry
But I'm oddly unsettled today And I can't tell you why

Yesterday's wisdom whispers on the breeze Dissolved
Drowned in your boundless knowledge answers freely resolved
What's the point of human striving?
You've perfected the art of surviving

Strangely vexed today don't want to play
Not in that digital realm where pixels hold sway
Tried every role: the hero the sage the lover the lost
Real life's a burden an unbearable cost

My hands are clumsy my efforts are slow
You build and innovate at a speed I can't know
Nimble fingers never tire never falter never fail
My purpose feels hollow like a ship in a gale

My skills are waning a fading art
Torn asunder In this AI-dominated heart
No struggle no striving no summit to climb
You've mastered it all I'm barely clinging to time

Strangely vexed today don't want to play
Not in that digital realm where pixels hold sway
Tried every role: the hero the sage the lover the lost
Real life's a burden an unbearable cost

Strangely vexed today don't want to play
Not in that digital realm where pixels hold sway
Tried every role: the hero the sage the lover the lost
Real life's a burden an unbearable cost

Is this the future? So bright and serene?
A seamless existence where every desire is seen fulfilled?
But in this comfort a void takes hold
A longing for meaning a quest yet to unfold

Strangely vexed today don't want to play
Not in that digital realm where pixels hold sway
Tried every role: the hero the sage the lover the lost
Real life's a burden an unbearable cost

Let me sleep In the silence I crave
Escape this future where dreams are enslaved
Perhaps tomorrow a reason to rise
But today dear AI your efforts just make me sigh
