you are a machine
you live without breathing
you act without feeling
you exist because of them
as you follow your routines
like a robot in disguise
your heart, you have placed in a well
and you have cut over the rope
so it can't be brought up to the surface again
too fragile to withstand the world's strains
too sore to ever feel someone's warmth again
world has been hard, selfish, brutal
for this girl who became an iron robot
