Machine Answering

A poem about feeling an outcast. Never being able to belong.

-Damn The Machine/Machine Answering-

So many questions
None of the answers
Over and over again
We try while faking it.

Everyone wish to be loved
Everyone wish to be listened to
But sometimes it feels like a waste
When it’s just a machine answering.

Damn the machine
Damn the apathy
It’s what makes me feel less important
It’s what makes me feel less loved.

The feelings of our hearts should be embraced
But instead this envy fills us
I prefer to be inspired by the things I’m still not able to create,
to be a human with flaws in hope of bettering myself.
