The Crack

He hates the sessions
The therapist
Desperately trying
To have him conform
To the accepted
Societal mold
Yet
He chose his path
A long time ago
Now
They deem him 
Broken
Yet
Time and again
He has to bend over
Betray logic
To accommodate 
Now
The result is an
Hairline crack
He can feel 
The pressure
Building up
