I'd wake up to the blatant screams
the pictures in my head of ravaged seams
of lives that ruptured because i could not confide
dolls like us just learn to comply

winded up on duracell
brought up and taught how to be ill
my fellow machines, worse than me

she grows on the street like a cancerous tumor
absent of thought, having yet to be caught
she falls as we mean nothing at all
everything in this world unfurled and unfounded
anything at all, tautological automechanical

I thought the poem kicked ass! I liked it a lot. I write about such things. I'd like to know one thing though, and don't get offended like some other girl did when i asked this question, its just a question out of curiosity. The ryhme scheme is all over the place. Did you do this on purpose to symbolize society's chaos?
OK well yes, just tell me. THANKS!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
