When and Why

I am faulty in all my ways
Made of the worst kind of stuff
I am broken and built to spill
And all my edges rough

I am torn and ragged
My warrenty expired
I have jagged edges
I am bent and tired

I have chips of paint
Long ago forgotton
My hinges creak and groan
And my foundation rotten

I am not fixable
Not that you would try
But when you look at me
Perhaps ask when and why
