Out of order

I cannot say this is a thing
Because it is my mind 
It's out of order, way above
The gentle or the kind

You've never had this
You've never seen
Such an undeniable
Broken me

I'm not a leaking pipe
Copper that has gone green 
Actually im worse
A broken mad machine

Yet I am just a thing
An object,no real border 
Broken down
I'm out of order
