zeros and ones

Would you understand me better

If I spoke in binary code

If I got your attention with

Beeps and boops, and monotone speech

Would you find me interesting

If you could control me with a remote

If I was fast and flashy and eye-catching

But I'm not a machine

I'm a person

Not a perfect one

But one who tries her best

Though I don't sing in 0s and 1s

Every song is about you

But I'm fighting a screen

And I know I can't beat a machine

They are made to be perfect

I was made to be me

And sometimes thats not good enough

Your attention is more applicable

To something that doesnt ask for love back

Something that will do what it is programmed to

Something that can't prove you wrong

Something that listens to you

But I'm just human

And thats not enough

I guess
