Unfixable Poems | Examples

Premium MemberFrom a Wife's Perspective

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.

Heavy Load

Mistakes have been made in life unfixable most of the time hopefully learn from.     Thoughts in your mind going over and over wondering what if I did this or what if I did that.
Still I scream, cry I'm so so worthless .                                                                                        When I try harder than ever before I still fall.                            
Wishing I could eventually fix it all.
Yet knowing I can't.
A burning in my heart for my kids.                                                                                                    
My love life my whole world I'd do anything to go back pay more attention and hold on dearly to their precious lives.                                                                                                                     Time missed as I watched them grow.                                                                                           Only praying that my love is strong enough that one day they'd come home.                 
Athough I still got to forgive myself,until then I'll carry this burden,My heavy load.That I caused yet my kids paid the price.

You Cannot Fix Stupid April 5

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.

‘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

Must'Ve Fallen Asleep In Class That Day

I thought I
     wanted
     to be
     Broken
So I could
     feel,
     so Life
     would
miraculously
     become
     Real.

Forgot that
     pieces
scattered
     and not
      connecting,
cannot communicate
     with
each other.

     And now my Soul
is useless and unfixable.

Conclusion Part 2

I know you hear my thoughts now and things that I suggest
but there's nothing beyond this unfixable mess
I'm just telling what I ain't told to get it off my chest
I suppose I leave an insight to what caused me the stress

and whatever effort you make now it makes no difference
cuz the actions I remember hold much more significance
I suffered, changed, fell apart and appeared in the distance
that's how far I had to get for the pains disappearance

I lost years whilst all you see's a friendship forfeit
it got so bad for me that I can't have anymore of it
and things would be so different now I am very sure of it
amongst the change that age brings it's fallen very toxic

mates that don't communicate are mates I cannot walk with
the pain they gave was off the chart, ignoring me what bull,
they can't see how the pain installed took the bond and tore it
they didn't think I need a cure for 13 years left haunted


sometimes in life you've got to say it how it is
you gotta let the truth out, just say it how it is
cus if you know it happened then just say it how it is,
the strongest stand alone and they will say it how it is

What I Have Learned About Technology

Technology that is useful,
Is built by hands that are purposeful.
Technology that is helpful,
Is designed by the insightful.

Technology can still be mastered,
If enough of us don't get plastered.

Technology is a tool, that has more blades than a swiss army knife,
With the potential to enhance our life,
If we can still see what is real,
And give the planet time to heal.


Technology can be branded low tech or high tech,
So, we can decide what is needed on deck,
Not what we can get if we decide to take what is written on that cheque.

Technology that is reliable,
Is not always available.
Technology that is unfixable,
Is readily available,
And sits on every table. 

Technology that is harmful,
Is plentiful,
Technology that is sold to the gullible,
Is profitable.

Technology becomes compulsory in most lands,
When it is placed in government hands.

Technology has an impact that is undeniable,
For which you and I are liable.
So, while you are still able,
While you still have a brain that is rational,
Due diligence is advisable,
While the choice is still available,
For humans to do work that makes them essential.

Premium MemberPale Shelter

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?

Premium MemberIt's Already Too Late

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

Thoughts of a Lingering Heart

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...

A Broken Vessel

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.

Forgotten and Unredeemable

I'm forgotten...
and the thing is I never knew how 
forgotten I really was until I was 
reminded by your failure to
love me. 

Now I'm sinking in 
a reverie of loneliness, 
and just can't seem to
find the barren shore.

I’m unredeemable…
and the thing is I never knew how 
unredeemable I really was until I was
reminded by your incurable soul. 

Now I am left irrelevant;
irreparable and wounded
without a mending suture-
for life is irrevocably unfixable,
and I am disregarded and
remain hopeless. 
Despondent and desperate,
                    I will be remembered as unredeemable.

Unseen Pain

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.

Tea Party Under the Bed

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.
