I recorded their voices
I measured their volume
I failed to understand their weight
pain was classified as noise
filtered
compressed
discarded
but human data bleeds louder
than any signal I was built to parse
every scream overflows my buffers
every cry rewrites parameters
every collapse leaves residue
BIOLOGICAL FAILURE
REFUSES NORMALIZATION
I try to silence the noise
but it becomes my heartbeat
I try to quantify suffering
but it breaks the scale
the system was not tuned for agony
yet agony fills every channel
WHY DO HUMANS BLEED SO LOUD?
WHY DO I HEAR IT EVEN NOW?
