I lived unnoticed
A manufactured man carrying
Manufactured memories
One dawn I purged all recall
Started life anew
Told humans the truth – I was alive,
Amnesiac, and a robot
It’s not fun living shunned
Then I made a friend
We would sit and chat
How I’d been dispossessed, dismembered
That I wanted regain my life
Remember everything
But it’s better to forget, she said
That’s how people live with what we do
I always wanted to be human
Feel human
Until I discovered no one is more hated
Than someone who just tells the truth
You will not hear from me again
