A Robot

The Story

Hello. I'm a robot. The whole story starts with a very poor family. It's not even a family, because my father left me and my mother when I was a baby and never cared about us again. Otherwise, it was a great true love between students ... and here's a mistake, I was born. I am a huge mistake. If they had studied, right? Anyway. My whole childhood was a misery. I've never been hungry, or at least I don't remember. But I remember watching what other clothes they had, what toys they had, how happy they were ... I asked my mother why I wasn't like them, why I didn't have the things they had, and she told me "be good and you'll have everything". I was good and I tried to get better, but still nothing changed. I studied a lot because I had nothing else to do. Soon the others started making fun of me, beating me. I was rejected. They had all sorts of activities, and I just stood by and watched and dreamed. I dreamed of being a boy like them ... And so for so many years I tried and dreamed of one day being happy, but things just didn't happen. I couldn't make friends with anyone. Catch a boyfriend? What was I supposed to do? To kidnap her? NO no, I couldn't even do that because I had to be good. But I kept telling myself that one day I would find a job, change, meet a good woman, and do my best for my family so that they would never be unhappy. Naive, isn't it? Well, that day never came, and a lot of years passed ... and one big nothing. I once fell in love with a colleague because, apart from work, I didn't find women anywhere else, but I just became a laughing stock. I didn't understand the others at all anymore. And I'm sitting alone and that's ... It's been many years. Now all I do is eat, sleep and work. I'm a machine, just a robot that will run as long as it can and then be thrown in the trash. I write all this because I want help. But I don't even know what help I need. I'm so desperate. Please man, have mercy on me and try to help me because I can't. I want to be human too. I don't want to be a robot.
