Powering Down
"Your very Mature for your age"
What does the mean?
Why do I have to be mature to make friends
my description label is on my back
its all there i promise
i even wrote them myself
organized them bit by bit
for i can be easy for you
for i can be easy for me
for it can be easy to fix myself
i've done this all before
like listening to a cassette tape till its broken
but sometimes people don't even look
but i wont mind
my power percentage is going up everytime
my description goes as told but sometimes its frustrating
they only want me when its their need
to finish their deed
but im their slowly rusting as my percentage slowly goes down
100%
my legs are moving on their own
my mouth is letting its words come out
helping these so called friends with their issues
but gets upset when i tell my truth
don't do that its not in your description label
they will leave you if you don't do as your told
70%
people don't even care to read my description
they don't like reading in this generation
I didn't get a 70 or above
that wont do
you need to have the validation like you need
your daily does of serotonin
you need to have the attention for you can charge
your battery
50%
My vision is getting blurry i don't wanna malfunction
i need to be there for those people who need answers
and if i dont give them those answers there going to disappear
and abandoned me like dust
my labels getting coming undone
people aren't looking
sometimes they wont care of they put a shipping label
on my forehead
sometimes i'm the problem
but in my description im not allowed to care about that
20%
Why is my chest squeezing me
my vision is turning dark and my steps are moving slowly
everyone is a black figure that i cant seem to erase
im malfunctioning but do you think they care no
why couldn't they understand that im overheating
the hell with the metaphors
i hate teaching people how to not being a ty person
i hate being a test
why don't they get it
i hate being their convenience
my description says i don't need affection but i really do
even if its cold to the touch
10%
my sticker label is slowly falling of my back
I fixed myself for them
but why did i have to
weren't they supposed to love me the way i am?
i don't wanna go to the factory to be refurbished
but i dont get
why was is it hard to see the default setting
im so exhausted i haven't charged myself
but i'm not merchandise
i am a human,
i'm a human
0%
Everything isnt clear anymore
but thats fine
im powering down
