Robot

A Short Poem

By Rika LekayPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

I feel hopeless,

Scratch that,

I don’t feel anything,

Why should I?

I’m not allowed to show emotion,

I’m not allowed to show feelings,

Being a slave is all I am,

It’s what I’m good for,

A mindless slave,

An emotionless robot,

That’s how I feel,

Deep inside.

They treat me like that,

And it appears to be true,

They’re a bunch of lazy beings,

But I cannot say that,

Positive thoughts only,

Those are allowed,

I cannot express myself,

I cannot say how I truly feel,

The only thing that keeps me here,

Is the reward that comes.

It’s a thoughtful reward,

I never received before,

That’s the only reason...

Why I am so torn...

Torn in between...

Heaven and hell...
