Your Mistake
Don’t preach to me about success as if you knew it all,
Assume you have all answers then soon coming is your fall.
It’s through mistakes and pain that our lessons are learned,
And condescending attitudes only make the tables turn.
No one has the right to judge another’s life,
Who can really say what is wrong or right?
It’s the purpose of existence to have ups and downs,
A universe fundamental, as funny as it sounds.
And, it’s irrelevant to me if my lifestyle you approve,
You suffer so much personally when you watch
my every move.
Don’t waste your precious time worrying about decisions
I may make;
Your life is so much less than perfect because of
That mistake.
