Automaton

 

    I was formed in a single instant,Thoughts became matter,   Pieces of dreams,Were hardened to steel.    My feet became heavy with rubber,Legs thick with corded muscle,   A torso of glistening abs,Shoulders thrown back with your own pride.    Atop the creation,What once was my body,   Sits your mind,In a cage of unbreakable codes.     You built me from the ground up,From a simple girls body,   You created a monster,Incapable of true emotion.     Now my body,Is unstoppable,   My muscles are of iron,I was beaten to perfection.     My heart ticks like a clock,Yet it cannot be broken,   And my mouth may speak,But that does not mean you will listen.     See, you programmed me,And I am controlled like a toy,                                                                    You chained me,But I refuse to be held back.     I am unstoppable,To my own mind,   But to you...I am a pawn,I am your automaton.
