Mistakes

The mistakes I've made,
have burned inside me,
they've changed me in so many ways.
Like a melting ice cube full of poison.
Coursing through my blood and 
contaminating it with its deadly venom.
Leaving me paralyzed and hopeless.
Then there's a light, at the end of a tunnel.
But I'm no farther out than in.
