You keep tightening the screws as they come loose in your head,
worried sick that the whole thing is coming apart.

I guess I want to tell you that it’s really not so bad. That the cracks
in the seams are how the air and the sun and the rain get in.
Something could be trying to grow, if it only had the room.

You are not a broken thing that needs fixing, and your screws may be
loose but you probably look better that way.
