Become an Emerald Author
We just released our new monetization features with the soft launch of our paid subscription Portal, The Emerald Lounge. So, authors in the lounge can have paid subscribers for their content, be it poems, stories, or books, you know, the works you've been holding back until it's ready to shine like it should. Become an Emerald author by submitting your best work, or work you like. If you think you can out-drink, or even hang until closing time with Hemingway or Hank, we want to meet you. Accepted authors will receive a code for "Become an Emerald Author," which you will find in your settings. Go get it.

Droid Dianna

They say I’m just a just a robot,

a sophisticated machine.

that I don’t really cry tears, and I can’t feel a thing.

That all my thoughts are programmed,

and I do not have a heart.

that I would be just mechanics

if you took me all apart.

But I’ve studied humans long enough,

To know that even though,

i will never be the same

I can still feel pain and the cold of snow.

I’m not really heartless,

even if my chest is only metal.

and emotions I do process

and I find out new things each day

accidental.

so yes, I’ll never be human

but I wouldn’t want to be.

because being an android

gives me a different way to see.
