The Engineer

She was an engineer
Making her children into robots

Emotionless
Loveless
Tearless

Perfect

At least she wanted them to be
The 1st one was a malfunction
It thought for itself
Had it's own opinions

You know
Something a child should never have

The 2nd a success
Until the age of 14
Where she got her own mind

The last was suppose to be the best
So she could go out with a bang
It was suppose to be quiet
Respectful
Skinny
And listen to every word without hesitation.

It failed the moment it breathed
It was creative
Happy
And tearful

You know
Something a child could never be

The androids were uselessly
They had emotions
And compassion
They loved her

So she faked it
Pretended to see them as people
She lived her life in misery
Always hoping that if she beat them enough

They would magically become perfect
But they never did
They were everything she wasn't

So maybe
Just maybe

She was the Android
And the kids made her
