You make me want to run away and never come back. You make me want to scream until my voice cracks and ends. Cry until there’s nothing left, say things I’ll regret, do things I don’t want to. You make me want to hate myself. You want me to turn into your little robot with no emotions. But how can I do that? My soul and emotions control me. How do I lock them away? No matter how hard I try, it’s impossible. Please understand this. I’ve tried telling you a million times that I’m trying harder, but you don’t hear a thing. So, I’m sorry. Just know that I’m trying my hardest every day to be the robot you want me to be

Your little robot
You make me want to run away and never come back. You make me want to scream until my voice cracks and ends. Cry until there’s nothing left, say things I’ll regret, do things I don’t want to. You make me want to hate myself. You want me to turn into your little robot with no emotions. But how can I do that? My soul and emotions control me. How do I lock them away? No matter how hard I try, it’s impossible. Please understand this. I’ve tried telling you a million times that I’m trying harder, but you don’t hear a thing. So, I’m sorry. Just know that I’m trying my hardest every day to be the robot you want me to be
This poem is about the endless cycle of helplessness and covering your own emotions to please others.
