Torn

When things
Get torn

We try
To put
Them back
Together

That’s nice

But sometimes

Things need tearing

Sometimes

They need
To rip
All the way
To the seam

Sometimes the momentum

Is towards breaking
Not mending
And we need
To just
Let it be

And this

Is a problem
For those
Who only
Know how to help
By fixing

Who busy themselves
Trying to repair tears
That are still tearing

Who fight against

What is to be

Making

Any progress
That is
To be made

Only

Take that much 
Longer
