Existential Misshape

Inner cacophony
Destructive tendency
Obsessions, distractions
Eroding neuroticism

You installed in me caution
A persistent voice of unreason

I gazed beneath into the depths of man
Examined every concept in perilous review

To be so strong, yet so weak
Exhausting mantras inside

Devoid of instinct, an existential misshape

A flaming adversary in sullen silence
An inward turn, a dismal partaking
