To Be a Robot by ~Wakerra:iconWakerra:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Narrative > Spoken Word


They call me The Robot
I've learned to stop caring
My feelings distraught
No longer worth sharing

My life has been cruel,
Brutal and coldhearted
Throwing my emotions in a whirlpool
A fate that can't be darted

What hurts me the most
Won't leave me alone
Like a parasitic host
That can't be thrown

Suicide is a thought
But out of the question
A fate not to be sought
And a pointless action

Instead I have found
A safer painkiller
As my problems amound
To some it's a chiller

I no longer feel
I no longer care
Who needs to heal?
When you're no longer aware?

I no longer cry
I no longer laugh
I may seem dry
As sun-dried chaff

They call me The Robot
The one without feelings
I no longer give thoughts
To tugs at my heartstrings

I've learned to shut out
What hurts me the most
Those who like to shout
Are yelling at a ghost

And should I care?
That my insides are scattered?
When I'm no longer there
Nothing's left to gather

Had a rather interesting thought train on the way to school today. Everywhere its Robots turning humaniod, but in reality, can this effect reverse? can someone whose hurting so much turn robotic? shut out the things that hurt them the most to survive?

what causes people to feel fear to something, what causes them to laugh at another? why do they feel guilt and cry? is this something we can control? can we just, shut it out?

ya I have weird thought trains ^^;

I'm not very good when it comes to ryhming poems, so if anybody has any suggestions to make this better, do tell ^^

Have you ever hurt so much inside, that you went to such lengths as to shut out all your emotions to the world and become a robot? [link]

It's not a bad attempt. Albeit I'm still learning poetry myself.

To answer your question, yes it can happen. The problem is to try not become what you dont want to be. Often times we do end up as something we never planned on being, more then likely however we are much stronger then we where before. Its these events in life that shape who we are, we never truly become anything at the end of our lives, because we are in a state of constant change and adaptation. Yes there are consistancys, things we keep and hold onto, those are our posts the things that keep us sane. Taking those away... would be very devestating I would imagine.
mmm rant.

so I've been told. I've never considered myself a writer, but a lot of people seem to like my stuff.....I really gotta figure out the next addition to the Wakerra story....

This actually started me on an idea for an image..., but I'll leave the making of good things to you ^^

No I will not think outside the box. I like the box. It's cosy.

Can anyone magically gift me some more artistic skill?
