Next Week

Mistakes make the world turn
they are how we learn.

 I tried so hard,
and cried  many tears.

scared to show
the world who I am.

The time has come
to prove them all wrong.

To let everyone see 
who I've  become.

My words  pepper blank pages
for all to read.

Next week my book will be released
Is my book going to hurt me?

I will have to wait and see.
What people are saying next week.

This is great. So many of us think our mistakes is what makes us who we are but only if we don't learn from them and become betteer. Mistakes don't turn us into fools unless we allow them to. Great job. And I bet your book is a hit. God Bless, JB
