Best Unfixable Poems
If you have to apologize, it's already too late
What you've done is unfixable; don't think you're so great
If you feel mere words can mend a broken heart
Then you've learned nothing, you fool, from its tearing apart
if you've fired a person and want to make amends
Find him a new job; that's the right message to send
If you've screamed at your kid, reduced him to tears
It'll take years to overcome what you've taught him to fear
Whatever you've ruined, be it a life or a love
Can only be mended by Mercy from Above

All these thoughts running around my head in a sadistic fashion
sitting me down and force feeding misery to the shallow doll that is me.
What a tea party, what a way to spend my days under the bed with the other broken dolls
What a gathering of emptiness
Nobody wants a broken doll
Im unfixable
Caress my madness with a jagged blade cutting it out of me with that smile on your face, the crooked mouth and face twisting as i shut my eyes to hide within myself whilst everything outside of me is decaying.
What a wonderful smile you dont have what a way to spend my time thinking about nothing
My thoughts hurt the swelling of blackouts elapses
Blackout.....blackout completely.

You can’t fix stupid
something unfixable local gems
To this day
There are some people
Who believe that COVID
Never really existed.
That it was all a horrid libtard plot
To lock down the economy
Imposed draconian controls
On everyone.
That vaccine mandates
Are the equivalent of
Sending Jews to the death camps
That the unvaccinated
Will be rounded up
And forced to get vaccines
Which are the equivalent
Of Nazi medical experiments.
That the vaccines were created
To track people
Invented by Bill Gates
Or were the mark of the beast.
Some speculated that
everyone who got the vaccine
Would die in one year
Or become sterile.
Part of the nefarious plot
To depopulate the world
By the global one-world government
UN black helicopter conspiracy.
The nonsense about vaccines
Mask wearing
And COVID in general
Reveal a fundamental flaw
With many human beings.
No matter how hard one might try
To convince people who believe
This nonsense,
It is beyond any ability
To reason with them.
At the end of the day
You can’t fix stupid.

Political Verse
I am not certain of anything
You invade my space, but you're
simply a mirage!
You didn't give me affection, instead
you gave me a vacant shack.
I want to be in charge…….
Completely!
How can you see me?The real me,
I don't understand…….
I can't fix this, it's too broken
You didn't give me affection, instead
you gave me a vacant shack
No need to ask questions, this is
unfixable
I thought you were well put together…..
Do you hear me?

Haiku
I find myself remembering,
my sixteenth year of life.
It seemed like we were the only people in the world,
driving home at so late at night.
That’s when most of our conversations happened,
discussing the future, life and the unknown.
The things that scared us, the things we loved,
We’d always come to a conclusion all our own:
You'd stare at me with your green eyes,
and then you'd smirk and say,
"We’ll help each other through".
Well where are you now? How will I get through today?
I need some help right now.
Life leaves me speechless and without a clue.
My heart's still in pieces..
What I wouldn’t give to love someone as much as I loved you.
I feel like I'm unfixable,
like my heart is stitched up tight.
I feel like I'm uncapable of love,
even if I tried, with all my might.

Before you judge me,
you should know.
I am not lazy,nor do i want your pills,
My body hurts very badly.
I have been broken, I have been fused,
so many operations on a knee, that is unfixable.
the pain radiating through my body is real,
just because you can't see it.
Does not mean I am faking it,
or addicted to your pills.
I cry myself to sleep many nights,
from exhaustion.
I can not walk very well,
or very far.
I am unable to do the things i would like to,
such as walk,run,skip,jump,and play with the grand kids.
So please don't judge me undeserving of respect,
due to my unseen pain.

The thousandth time rerun
The crying
The apologies
The unspoken regret
Yet you stood
Like a statue of marble
Your eyes quiet
So shut down from emotion
So ruined by what you felt
Just an empty shell
She stood screaming at your face
The one that never left
The one that had your back
No matter what was ahead
The one, no matter how many times
You broke her into unfixable pieces,
Came back, trying to be sure
That you would make it
Taking no regard for herself
How many times did she quietly
Begged for you to come back
Not the emotionless monster you've become
But the rugged angel
That saved her from her own hell
She stood
Her body convusing from tears
You just turned and walked away
She tried to explain
You didn't listen,
She spoke in vain
She never wanted more
Than just the person you were
She just wanted someone
To love and miss her unconditionally
Of how badly she had fallen
How scared and broken she was
She stood speaking fact to you
She told you exactly
You didn't listen
You turned your head and shut down
She was trying to protect you
Didn't you see?
That's all she wanted
Was someone to protect
To be protected
To clouded to say no
You tore her once more
A I love you note
Before heinous deed
Didn't you feel guilty?
Not even a bit?
She gave everything she possibly could
Just to not be put on the shelf again
But pride clouded your mind
And she was placed right at the back
The person who never left
The person who chose to not see what you lack
She got tired
And decided it was time to stand
Time to shy her face away
From the evil heart breaking anger within her
So with some words said
And Some words left
To fester within
She ended it
She ended her personal sin

Thoughts of A Lingering Heart...
loneliness, fear, brokenness, self deception, blinded by one's own deceptions
Thoughts of A Lingering Heart check it out tune in (turn-up) as the young people say...LOL
Stop trying to fix something old that has been shown, proving unfixable, try something NEW, Oh we hear & heard that before...Yeah okay what's n-e-x-t
Stop battling the war within, facing challenges within oneself, we often find oneself stuck in the moment.
Those moments has no limited time attached, it just isn't fair... So sing and make a effort or sing away the Blues...
Thoughts of A Lingering Heart
Learn not to let your emotions VOTE....LOL
WE are ALL emotional people that's just life. But we are overcomers
change & transition.
We are a people of change,change, change, change...

as if it was so easy to
trade & throw around the
vulnerability of a
human being who’s tripped,
fallen
crashing
down
with
face
to
cement,
as if the life of the doctor
mattered more,
as if giving advice
(however relevant or
helpful)
warranted a monetary
reward,
as if there was to be no
attachment
allowed,
because all along the doc was
planning his/her escape
if this one was
“unfixable”---
like a scab crossing a picket
line, like a pharmaceutical
company mad scientist
promising healing to
a starving diseased person
being used by Big Pharm as
a guinea pig for whatever
potions they’ve most
recently concocted---
rotten to the
core &
out for
blood (coulda’ been
anything else but they
chose this path &
leave the kitchen when
it gets too hot
for another to come &
try to cook
all
over
again).

My frustratingly obstinate hubby
Drives me crazy
Always loudly fixing the unfixable
Without any success.
He kept on tinkering stubbornly
Under the kitchen sink
Despite my fervent plea to...
"Just call the plumber already!"
True to form, he dismissed me with...
"No need, sweetie. I'll fix this, trust me."...
I told him, "But babe, it's worst off now!"
Even my daughter sided me on this.
"Dad, I actually agree Mom," she told him
"I think you should call it in," she added.
But did her advice penetrate? Of course not!
"No need, pumpkin. I know what I'm doing,"
He says to her, emphatically.
How typical of him.
The following day,
He's still scooping water out of the sink
With a salad bowl.
My daughter says to him,
"Dad, how about calling the plumber?
And then I said...
"Hon, why don't you ever listen to us?"
He finally calls the plumber
With my side eye trained on him.

A Broken Vessel
Insensitive
Unfixable object
Broken into its pieces
One by one all over the area
With a strange excessive liquid
That flows like water of the Red Sea.

‘Reborn here now without baggage’
But I had to do a lot of self-reflection.
I thought I was unfixable and damaged,
I changed my thinking, got a new connection
However, I know I’m not perfect at all,
Reborn here now without baggage.
Now I’m able to stand tall after a fall,
I put me first and I don’t like cabbage.
I don’t focus on my failures, my personal adage,
Changing my perspective brought healing.
Reborn here now without baggage,
Accepting myself is such an amazing feeling.
Each day that I live, it’s with purpose,
New lease on life, I'm the whole package.
A worthwhile voyage (mind, body, and spirit )for us
Reborn here now without baggage

patched up. got all patched up, they say. running like a jack rabbit, ready to go. because here comes spring! here it comes! gotta get patched up and ready. hammering around my chest cavity, my hearts running like a jack rabbit, ready to go. it rattles so loud the underground can hear. way down under they hammer away and put patches in place so we can all be running like jack rabbits, ready to go. patches with stitches round the edges, with thread pulled tight, tight, tight. that fabric stretches over muscle to pull two ends closer; it’s okay that my body doesn’t do it right on its own. it’s okay to be patched. it’s okay to be altered, hemmed, and wound up with a crank every few months. it’s okay to be running like a jack rabbit, ready to go.
with my weird little eyes and jumpy, jittery body, i can go on for so long before being chased. no, not chased. hunted. yes, hunted. i’m patched up prey, thundering through the field. thump, thump, thump, my eyes don’t blink. do you think i’ve invited the predator? does it feel that way to you? because i’m all patched up and look a little crazy? move a little crazy? i’ve got a good repairman, hasn’t been a job unfixable yet. this is just how jack rabbits are, ready to go.
