Mistakes
Every day that goes by
I seem to make
The wrong choices
Mistakes………..you might say
Will I ever learn?
Instead of going right I go left
Instead of keeping straight
I make a complete u-turn
Mistakes
I regret so many things I’ve done
People I’ve been with
Promises I’ve broken
Trying not to show none of this
I turn away from everyone and everything
Is that another mistake?
How do I open up my heart
And let others in
When that has only gotten me hurt
And broken-hearted before
Should I change
Who I am
To compliment everyone else’s opinion
On what I should do about my
Mistakes
Being me
Is how I express my individuality
And I realize that
Either way my mistakes
Are now apart of who I am
