In the beginning
We are born without consent,
thrown into existence without warning,
no map, no instructions.
We rely on those who created us—
themselves guided by fading echoes,
a bloodline of trial and error,
passing down survival like
testing food for poison.
Generations upon generations,
none of us truly knowing,
yet all of us pretending
we were meant to.**
