Every Mistake Made

Stimulate this for change
Walk the straight and narrow
Watch your steps along the way
What seems so simple is really truly hard
It's a tight rope of hope
Everything hangs in the balance
One slip up one trip away to an end
Condescending it may be
But who in their right mind wants to change
So predictable so perfectly insane
Sanity looks down here comes that fear
Here comes those thoughts
Why don't I just jump it's not technically a fall
But a most sudden end to an unpredictable life
How does change become the demon
When it haunts your thoughts twist them around
Change becomes an enemy with no equalvalte 
It's the actions to avoid
It's the easy solution 
Running away seems so effective
But what if I told you it's a freedom
It's a rewrite in the course of your history
Your existence doesn't account for it 
It's propaganda to so many
To embark in change to carry on it's not so simple characteristics gives you a power a jolt to the madan 
It's accomplishment it's belonging it's comfort in your own skin
Who doesn't want that?
It's not a clear path it's not mapped out for you it's not a birth rite 
It's a matter of clarity and peace being able to seek it
Exchange it cultivate it creates excitement lavishes in self acceptance 
Change is not a monster
It should not be feared
It should be embrace because with change comes happiness
And that in itself is worth every mistake made .
