Misuse (warranty voided)

I play my part,
as a cog in the machine.
But suddenly,
there is a crack!

Faulty features,
worrisome wear.
Not designed
for constant use.

The body in turmoil
yet the mind untouched.
Uncharted territory
without a reference point.

Enthralled by expectations
from myself and others.
Take a step back
and look again!

The coin of nihilism
lands right side up.
I alone
am the author of my story.
