It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.

Push it once

then a dozen times.

Buttons won't work,

I'm paying the price.

 

Hardware's jammed

screen's on the blink

My circuit board's damaged,

Now I can't think.

 

Limbs attached

by a thin thread of wire,

One small spark

and I've set myself on fire.

 

I am slowly dying

an immortal death.

I was never alive,

But I'm taking my final breath.

 

Was not made to have emotions

But I loved the world 'till day.

Now I'm leaving it behind,

but I'm not really going away.

 

I am different from my kind

not mere metal, glass and wires.

It is a blesing and a curse,

I will never fulfill my desires.

 

I am a machine with no heart

Which means I can never die,

But no-one really bothers to fix me

So why sit and try?

 

I'll take in all I can,

before my memory goes stark

Feel the wonders of the world,

Up untill my last spark.


The author's comments:

It's a dying robot. It had the fortune to feel emotions and the misfortune to be treated as a an emotionless machine. It was not as lucky as we are. I feel we take our positions as Humans for granted, many a times. I also acquired quite a bit of inspiration from the Pixar movie,'Wall-E'.
