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
