shades of gray
are all you need
to get the job done
diligently
necessary isn't fun

am I machine?
going through the motions
prolonging life
forget emotion?

it's what everyone
wants for me
to stay in line
to do a favor
to write a rhyme
to read some paper

but there is no meaning anymore
everything is tired
everything's a joke
and i missed the punch line

i won't make a fuss
but quietly wait
and congratulate
the winners that smile
and take their luck

what happens to anticipation?
curious excitement?
exuberance, exultation?
if it amounts not
i won't miss a lot

when energy goes
and interest slows
i haven't got
much more to say
whoever really cared anyway

i'm just an android
living in a world of androids
preprogramed rules
the breath of life void
i'll smile for you
and pretend I'm not board
and you'll do the same for me
and we'll both pretend
to live happily
ever after

it's in the contract

Hehe..Bloody contracts..Enjoyed your write..

Giving up is so easy, Sinner, acting like it doesn't hurt, that's the hard part. And, contracts are made to be broken.. peace to you, my friend..

Contract?.....You are not obligated to sign! Cheer up doll you have a long way to go....And a lot to say!

thank you so much for your replies. I needed this.

((((DS)))) Hugz!!!

i'll smile for you
and pretend I'm not board
