Just A Crack In The Wall

I’d say it’s like being a crack in the wall;
People don’t tend to worry about cracks much…
They notice…
They brush it off.
“It’s probably nothing,”
So they move on.
But cracks can get bigger
Until they become the first thing you notice.
So big they grab your attention.
You comment.
But, by then, it’s too big.
By then, it’s too late.
However cracks can be filled,
Cracks can be mended.
All that is needed is a little help.
