A modern day Pinocchio

I'm never going to be good enough am I, I'm not good enough to just a normal. I want to be a face in a crowd that isn't dwelled on; I don't want this anymore. A person once said that with power comes great responsibility…then how is it I want to throw it away and wallow in my own self pity?

I want to be normal again, to laugh with my friends, told that I could do better everyday, told that I need to choose something to do with my life. But right now it's already been decided.

You're a hero Cyborg…there's no chance for a normal life. When I opened my eyethose years ago I realized I'd never go back to my old life, I'm a freak, my metal hands are cold…my feet make a hollow clunk every time I take a step. I see everything in such detail, so well I can zoom in on a blade of grass and my brain will tell me how fast it'll grow and even bring up information on the properties of grass, if I can see life so well then why am I questioning my life.

I help people everyday, I save lives, I fight crime…yet I'd do anything to be one of those people who look up at me and tell me I'm the best. I envy them while they wish they were like me.

I'd swap any day! I'd give them my circuits, my weapons, even my car! Just to be able to live like a normal teenager. Finish school like I've wanted to for so long, chase after girls knowing I haven't got a chance against those popular guys, but I'd try anyway because it was apart of life!

I want to live!

But right now I'm not living…I'm operating like a machine should, recharging in the night, switching on everyday, doing it's job and then shutting down for the night. I'm a machine…and nothing else.

A machine that wants to be real, I'm a modern day Pinocchio I guess! I want to be real just like that stupid puppet; we were both brought to life when we'd both rather to be left alone. He shouldn't have been born and I should've been dead and buried with my mother.

But instead we both go day by day…well he doesn't he's a fairy tale but that's not the point. I'm going day by day, a smile on my face, friends all around me, we're different from others, Robin's the closest to normal and he was in the circus (he thinks I don't know…), even our resident alien was different to her people, she had different powers and lived in a palace, Beastboy's green, Raven's a half demon from another dimension. So I guess all in all I fit in pretty well in my own little group. Five friends in a giant T…and people envy us.

So I guess it'll always be our little secret…that I envy them a hell of a lot more.

End.

Ta da! My drabble for the forgotten Cyborg, bless people forget about the big guy (me included) but this was inspired by the episode 'deception' because I felt that Cyborg has a lot of self hate in there. So I wrote it down.

Now review and tell me if you love Cyborg? Or do you forget about him 'cause you don't like him? But I think he's so very cool

YAY CYBORG!
