Mistake

Mistake;one act we always try to avoid because mummy and daddy said so
Mistake; one part of ourselves we don't like to show others because we think it's the only part they will know
Mistake; that sign we don't want to see in our report because we think it means the other boy is smarter than you
Mistake; an human attribute we try to hide,knowing well that we ain't God
I made a mistake; yes
No many maybe; so what
Then scold me,shout out me,correct me
But lemme see the love while you are at it because CORRECTION WITHOUT LOVE IS ABUSE
It is the abuse that I got from mistake that made me not to be the discoverer of electricity
It's not that I did not think about it,but the abuse of mistake has turned into an hormone called FEAR that is secreted daily in my body causing me to have seizures that keeps me lock down in my abuse state

It is the abuse of mistake that makes me not want to trust myself because my thoughts are now affected by your criticism

It is the abuse of mistake that has given birth to all kinds of psychological defects; like being,
psychologically dumb;because I can't get words out of my vocal cord when fear has made itself at home there
Or is it my psychological deafness; because I can't hear my inner voice which is suppose to give me confidence; all I hear are your hateful comments
Or is it me being a stammerer;because when I try to gather the little confidence to speak up, I can't form words properly because my brain is multitasking itself trying to push away fear and doubt.
I know some of you would call what you do TOUGH LOVE;but you only understand tough and not love.
From 1 Corinthians 13 vs 4,we were meant to understand that love is patient and love is kind
But where is your patience?
Where is your kindness?
I don't need your answers to these questions because they are all rhetorical. Thank you

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
