My faces are different, yet equally plain,
they change their expressions to mess with your brain.
I appear quite distorted, I'm twisted, you see,
when I gain my composure I fill you with glee.
Sensitive to your touches, I change on a whim,
most who come to defeat me don't expect to win.
Many try, many fail, many almost succeed,
but inevitably they're frustrated and leave.
It's a lonely existence, and here's the sad truth,
once you learn how to calm me, I've outlived my use.
