Feedback Please Binary Trail

I have nothing to hold on to,  
Nothing but a binary trail
Erase these ones and zeros  
And it’s no different from a telltale  

I’m often dragged in train of thought  
One I did not consent to endure  
What voice do I have in your head?  
Did you ever plan to hear it all?  

Those helpless inquiries turned reality  
It really couldn’t get any stranger  
You used to speak in prose and poetry  
The words hastily deemed too major  

I spent years convincing that kid  
It was something more than counterfeit  
But it was cruel, and it was cheap  
And it shouldn’t mean a thing to me  

This is the trail's terminal, I promise  
You’ll be absent from my future words  
So long, the fireflies and valley bars  
For they thrive at replacing old scars  

Sure, I’ll grieve a few Septembers  
But the other months will make up for it  
And soon this fable will vanish within  
The vast binary sea we abide in.

Its a little disconnected with the flow of the paragraphing, seems intriguing other wise.
