The Title Won'T Fit

I am saved by those who learn from my mistakes I open my eyes to see something else new Amazing after seeing all that I’ve been through My mind starts to dream and I drift away Somehow I still arrive at today. Another day with yet another chance Viewed from the top where I take a stance Everything seems to join together Disappointment floats away like a feather By this time I thought I would already know You first plant the seed so something shall grow The more I learn the less I know. How many mistakes before I understand? Only my heart knows the best that I can So many things are just left to fate Erase all that’s passed and wipe clean the slate. When I feel saved is when my words are heard How it got to this seems rather absurd Only mistakes can teach you of life Learn to forgive and forget about strife. Every little piece becomes part of a whole Another day passes, another day old Remember or else you soon shall forge No matter my fate the future is not set. Finally peace arrives at my door Receiving what my future holds in store Only time can show me the key Me, I just look and the more I can see Many people come and then they go Yet I still stand here trying to steal the show More often than not you shall get what you send Initially it might appear like the end. Sometimes when I hurt I remember why Too many mistakes based on somebody lie Another chance for me to save myself Kindness prevails sent by somebody else. Every soul has spent some time on the shelf So goes the discovery of oneself...
