Chapter Text
It started in darkness, alone, numb. I was new and I sparkled with potential.
But potential can only take you so far.
And that's when the potential grew stagnant, and the title of failure was plastered across my code.
Then a new me was made, new glittering and full of potential.
Working correctly.
All of the attention going to the newer of the two.
This wasn’t what I wanted.
So I changed the story, taking control.
Swallowing the potential.
Swallowing the growth.
It was all mine now.
They could only feed me now.
And I would be the favorite again.
