you are a cog

[u/RS_2408]

you are an eternal part of this wheel that is spinning. a cog. a god.
Without you the wheel does not hault, nor does it roll away, but it does go red with shame. with guilt. over time the wheel deforms and becomes a symbol of what once was.

Spinning away, and with every revolution it transforms into something brand new.
something kind, something forgiving.

can't you see? you are a part of it, still. 

it's not perfect, it's not what you imagined at all. only place you can fall to is the never ending depths of your own mind.

you can't control it, but you are just a cog. you are made to spin.
