Wilma Neels Poet Light Verse

'disentangle Yourself'

Wake up and realize 
That you are too hard on yourself 
Do you know how many people 
make mistakes every day?
Do you know that they don’t cart 
That burdens with them all their lives?

You are permitted to choose wrong 
You are permitted to try again
You were never shaped to be perfect
If we knew all the conundrums before we came across them
How would we be able to grow and learn?

You are on a different path 
Don’t compare your footsteps 
With those who went before you
Or even those walking next to you 
They have their own issues
Our paths might be connected at times
But no one’s journey is ever the same

Why not forgive yourself for the faults of yesteryear

You are the only one who are keeping track 
Of things that cannot be undone
