My mind is bewildered by how you react?
Can’t you see what you’re doing behind that hideous mask?
With your drawn on smiles and bright shining teeth,
That factory made personality never missing a beat,
Life for the machines are perfect, Everything handed to them, Everyone gushing on how they act, how they look,
But what ever happened to those who are human?
Take off the mask so you are no longer blind,
And behold the world ahead of its time,
Hiding, Hiding who they are,
Their hoods falling just below their eyes,
No one even knows that they are already dead inside,
Their once brilliant light has been snuffed out,
Without a fight,
The laughter that once bounced across the world has been replaced by machine responses,
You want to know the truth look in the mirror behind your mask,
Your approved eyes have turned black and soulless,
The makeup to make you feel alive,
Strip it away you’re a Skelton, a monster inside,
Your once perfect teeth are yellow and rotted
Your smile most prized is stitched together,
Come along little cattle you’ve wandered from the herd,
Who needs to worry with a care in the world,
When all the machines show the beauty,
hiding the hideous truth,
Perfection is hideous and you are beautiful.

Hey, Cat here for a review!
I love this poem, and I like the message a lot, but there are some nitpicks I have... I'll try not to be too annoying.
The stuff in Italics and () is my comments and the rest is yours from here on out, by the way. 

My mind is bewildered by how you react? (No question mark here)
Can’t you see what you’re doing behind that hideous mask? (Maybe "Can't you see yourself behind your mask?" just so it flows better.)
With your drawn on smiles and bright shining teeth, ("drawn-on smiles" and maybe drop the "bright")
That factory made personality never missing a beat, ("factory-produced")
Life for the machines are perfect,
Everything handed to them,
Everyone gushing on how they act, how they look. (I added the right spacing here.)
But what ever happened to those who are human?
Take off the mask so you are no longer blind, (Maybe an exclamation point here.)
And behold the world ahead of its time,(Just out of curiosity, what does this line mean? It's very interesting.)
Hiding, Hiding who they are,(The second "hiding" with a lowercase "H".)
Their hoods falling just below their eyes,
No one even knows that they are already dead inside,(Just for the flow, maybe drop the "already")
Their once brilliant light has been snuffed out,("once-brilliant")
Without a fight,
The laughter that once bounced across the world has been replaced by machine responses,
You want to know the truth look in the mirror behind your mask,
Your approved eyes have turned black and soulless,
The makeup to make you feel alive,
Strip it away you’re a Skelton, a monster inside,("skeleton" without a capital "S")
Your once perfect teeth are yellow and rotted("once-perfect")
Your smile most prized is stitched together, (Add a period here?)
Come along little cattle you’ve wandered from the herd,
Who needs to worry with a care in the world,
When all the machines show the beauty,
hiding the hideous truth,
Perfection is hideous and you are beautiful.(I LOVE THIS LINE!!! <3 It's perfect!)
Anyway, that was a great poem and I loved reading it. Most of the nitpicks were just technical stuff, so don't let it get to you.
Write on!

Thanks you helped me alot
Hello! Nice piece. Very thoughtful. I like your comparisons.
A few things:
Should the first line be a question? It doesn't sound like one.
It looks like you had some formatting trouble at the end of the first paragraph. I almost missed the line "Everyone gushing."
By "Skelton" do you mean "skeleton"?
You use a lot of commas that seem a little out of place and sometimes conflict with capital letters. Consider either changing some or taking them out.
Great job! The whole machine thing is a great description. I like the last line, "Perfection is hideous and you are beautiful." So true.
Thanks for the help I wouldn't have caught the problem in formats
