When you open your cupboard of flaws
Pick one of them and straighten it out
Iron the kinks to make it your armour
But remember that the age-old defects must not abide the same laws.
Kick them out
Into the dustbin labelled 'out-of-order'.
Some glitches can be cleaned by the apology machine
Where you forgive them and then, they can be kept off the shelf.
Everytime you do this difficult process,
Though you meticulously pick and screen
Do realise, some attached strings are removed by itself;
Shrinking the cabinet into a much smaller mess.
