The reset button is broken on this device
You cannot will a broken machine back to life
You may press the button again and again
Your good thoughts and well wishes will do nothing in the end
This temperamental technology gives the illusion of control
You can't wish yourself unstuck, make the parts become whole
The buttons, the triggers, the switches and wires
Your mind is a circuit but the paths are on fire
One small tear breaks the whole, it's quite simple you see
Damaged pathways mean minds can't function properly
Your disappointment is heard, but these buttons aren't magic
You need tools to repair or the outcome is tragic
Your frustration's unfounded, machines don't last forever
There's a way to keep trying, but some paths might be severed
A factory reset could resolve the problem
But data might not be recovered on startup
Reset, Reset, Reset, you yell
But in the end you're only hurting yourself
Sometimes reset buttons are a gamble
They don't always work, they leave things in shambles
Then it's unexpected, they'll press down one day
The reset will happen, a miracle you say
The device isn't worthless, just not 100% reliable
Until it needs a new reset, and you have no control

Reading has always been my escape from reality growing up with mental illness. I hope that my future stories can give others that same escape. Thanks for stopping by!
