Wrong Decision
When you make a wrong decision
And you’re feeling not too bright,
Don’t bog down with self-derision;
Try, instead, to set things right.
Though it’s tricky to untangle
Strings you’ve tied into a knot,
Dig down deep and find an angle,
Using everything you’ve got.
Place a phone call, write a letter
Or make contact with a text
And you might feel somewhat better
With whatever happens next.
I’m no expert, though, believe me.
I oft wallow in despair,
But unless my years deceive me,
There’s not much beyond repair.
