The Matrix Morpheus Empathic

I sit here, toyed around and controlled over in a chess game of lies and deception. My hands are chained. I'm held down. Death hovers above and under. It taunts, threatens, shrieks at me. Awaiting.

Oh the pain I feel! How they sting, like needles. How they cut, like blades.

I stare into the eternal depth of his two open shutters. I see sorrow, desperation, and anger. I see burning passion. I see self-belief, confidence, and most distinctly, an individuality that only Neo possesses.

In those eyes, I see understanding, trust, determination, love...and dreams for....freedom. Yes. I want freedom!

Waves of power and strength surge into my body and mind. I do not want to be
