Best Mistake Poems

You made the mistake and now,
your afraid to face this day. 

Your thoughts are racing through 
and through.

You wonder if your family looks at
you as a disgrace, but you'er mother
takes you and reasures, your very 
much loved in grace.

Even though your much to young
for this...

Not complaining, choosing  to flow with the breeze
Not complaining, finding true thanks on my knees
Not complaining, no one promised me easy
Not complaining, grooving on a white daisy

I see you seeking cellular validation
A selfie world that's your own fabrication
Your mind is spinning, hope is on...

Finding forgiveness for foolish fights;
my lonely heart overruled my head.
And although I should've known better,
I wanted to believe all you said.

You swear you'll never hurt me again;
begging me to please unlock my door.
And then you plead for just one more chance;
like you have so many...

The maestro conducting the bands
Could get none to follow commands.
Though skilled and respected,
Sadly, he'd neglected
That morning to put on his pants.

My big mistake was marrying too young.
At twenty, I had so much more to learn.
So many other songs I could have sung;
so many pathways.  Which way, though, to turn?
My marriage was not easy, and its start
was far from any bliss I'd dreamed about.
I'd followed...

Everybody is walking alone on the road
Only me standing here with a barren eyeful
I can hear that they are singing or weeping
Silent, silent only I have to be silent
With this solitary life 

I cannot see the reason behind my existing 
I seem to have no...

I’m six feet below the ground; where I sleep
My body stopped moving and I can’t breathe
A little air, I think, is all I need
But I’m trapped underground and I can’t see
It’s so dark and what was that, did someone knock?
No, just someone walking over this...

Two successive dates
I failed to hit the mark
I'm sorry for the mistakes
And the crestfallen shark

On the first, I didn't use
Much needed commas and slashes
Flowers I failed to produce
Absent were the flamenco flashes

I now do understand
Beauty of punctuation
Undulations of the land
Whispering illustration

And the slanting slashes
Those acute...

You were never a problem
no disaster, no tears
If loving you was a mistake
you are my favorite one
I look for traces of you
in some guys I meet
then I remember your smile and kiss
and hope I'll grow in love again...

I messed up
I made a mistake
Embarrassed beyond words
I was lost
Living in the past
Nothing I could say
No excuse can I give
I was caught in the moment
And memories of you
The damage done
Cannot be repaired
I'm at a loss 
Of what to do
"I'm sorry" seems LAME
Not good enough
So I'll...

Falling deep,
Hard and strong.
Can’t stop from falling,
In love with your gaze,
And I won’t realize it,
Until I’m hit hard in the face, 
A horrible reminder of this morbid place.
Can’t stop time,
And can’t turn it back,
Can’t change your place,
In a world made of class.
My heart shatters,
Like glass,
When...

In my mind
Where silent thoughts
Reveal the truth, the depths
Of my hopes, dreams and feelings…
There is a piercing voice
One who announces my flaws
The faults which remind me that
I am human and humans err
Sometimes badly
Other times, sadly
And still other times, madly
I am a human and I stumble
Both...
