Trying not to

Life is full of mistakes.
We often do not see the rights.
I am so sick of it.

Everything is wrong.
Everything is a mistake.
Nobody can do anything right.

Hey, I get it.
Nobody is perfect.
I am most certainly not perfect.
And honey,
Neither are you.

People screw up,
And the man up.
Others forgive them,
And then the mistake is like,
A cancelled note,
Ripped in a thousand pieces,
And thrown away.
Never to be found again

But no matter how dearly you are forgiven,
For your mistake,
It will always be there.

A persons mere existens,
Can be a mistake.
I could be my mother's greatest mistake.
It is very likely that I am.
Her life would not have been put on hold,
Had it not been for me.
Your birth is the biggest mistake,
And you use your whole life,
Trying to correct it, it is said.

Life is full of mistakes,
But I am trying not to be one of them.
