It ain’t broke, but I’ll fix it

Most of us like to fix broken things

A wrong made right immense satisfaction brings

We fix broken things using our skill-sets

But are often left discontented and upset

When things are broken beyond repair

And we have to give up in despair

When forces beyond our control are at play

Sometimes we cannot get our way

*

When fixing something is an integral part of what you do

You have to always have something to fix too

Since there are many unfixable problems you face

You start trying to fix things not broken in the first place

You end up making a change in something that did not need

To be altered or upgraded at all, indeed

Soon you start believing in the changes you make

You think you’re fixing broken things, but that’s a mistake

*

A lot of us keep spinning our wheels this way

“Fixing” unbroken things, day after day

The true fixes that work are few

and far between

But they keep us motivated behind the scenes..
