Wandering endlessly
Mind gone blank
I’ve never been calm this restlessly
Like a bored teller at a bank
I want to care
I want to feel
Of emotion I’m bare
Just a robot behind the wheel
Leading my life
Seemingly the same
But there’s something new…
It’s so minuscule
Through true emotion
I developed friends
The good kind,
That stay ‘til the end
I know them
They know me
Yet all but one
At first could not see
For an unknown cause
The emotion had left
And was replaced
With an artificial shell
The cloning was so complete
No radar could tell the difference
Not even I could tell

Wandering endlessly
Mind gone blank
I’ve never been calm this restlessly
Like a bored teller at a bank
I want to care
I want to feel
Of emotion I’m bare
Just a robot behind the wheel
Leading my life
Seemingly the same
But there’s something new…
It’s so minuscule
Through true emotion
I developed friends
The good kind,
That stay ‘til the end
I know them
They know me
Yet all but one
At first could not see
For an unknown cause
The emotion had left
And was replaced
With an artificial shell
The cloning was so complete
No radar could tell the difference
Not even I could tell
