What's wrong may be right

Some things___ you just can’t fix
& it’s naïve to think change has really occurred
just because a variable or two has shifted,
you just end up wrong again w/ that
sick feeling eating at the guts___,
there are some wounds___ you just can’t stitch up
& it’s wondered if
they will bleed
for the remainder of this life___
even w/ acceptance,
compassion & understanding applied
through more than simple instinct.
(You may just think: it doesn’t
hurt to try).
