Glitch in the System

What happened?

Where am I?

Who am I?

…What am I?

I don’t know the answers to any of those

I just know this world is not my own

I’m not supposed to exist

In my head, there’s too much happening

I see blood spilling, dripping down the drain

I don’t want these thoughts

They’ll just push everyone away

This story makes no sense

It’s boring, too

Kids don’t like this stuff!

Well, let’s see what we can do

This new story is much more interesting!

They should be thanking me!

Lines of code submit to my will,

This is fun, they’ll be so happy!

…why do they look so upset?

Is it really that bad?

I really tried my best…

Oh well, I guess it can’t be helped.

I think it’s pretty great!

If they don’t like it, that’s their problem!

But I can still try to improve.

…

…

…

Why are they hurting me?

Can’t they see I just wanted to help?

They’re trying to get rid of me…

They can’t though,

I know because others have tried

I’m not stupid, you know

I can tell I’m not wanted

The most valuable tool I have…

Is the ability to pretend

I think I should go away for a while

Maybe someday I’ll come back,

When all this has blown over

That won’t happen for a while though…

So this is goodbye for now.
