I am well aware that I am no stranger to mistakes. In truth, no one is, but this is how we learn and to be afraid of mistakes is to be afraid of the possibility for growth.
In gymnastics each flip and twist
Must be precise
one mistake could cost
it all
bad decisions
missed landings
one mistake
Comedy of error indeed it is
That often creates terror of sorts
Jokes and memes meant for friends and foes
More often than not land in family whatsapp groups
Finally President of the United States,
Zeus was pleased with himself.
Or at least he might have been, had his wife not found out that he had cheated on her.
Again.
Take three steps forwards
Realized from years of hard work
Fall backwards off the ledge
Realized from a downward spiral
One morning; a monday morning.
Two thoughts; do I live or die?
A game, it started with,
To meet your lover in it was a myth.
The meeting was probably a coincidence,
Now it actually makes sense.
I met half of my identity,
One I've been searching for since infinity.
If I could write a song for you... It would be about who's who and whos not and how I couldn't find me....excited lost and scared it's the rest of my life..... I wanted more..
Never did I think that I wouldstoop so low as to fall intothis deep darkness that doesn't endthis coldness that punctures the soul.This is all my fault, my fault thatnow you don't want to talk to me.
One, two, three
let me lay in bed and count.
four, five, six
the mistakes I've made with you.
seven, eight, nine
I would take them all back.
ten, eleven, twelve
each one just as bad as the last.
Dear Little Sister,You’re not so little now,And you never really were.You’re still 3 minutes younger,So what I say is still true. But,Dear Little Sister,just like how you aren’t so little anymore,Things have changed between us.Such asA rift as str
It was there under an old Maple Tree where he'd promise he'd be.
He kept that promise but I did not.
For it was another man that took my heart
He promised me gold and silver
He made my every wish come true.
The Biggest Mistakes I Made in my First Long-Term Relationship
i gave up my happiness in order to help make him feel whole
20 years on earth
I've made ton of sorry things
like I've been soaked in the world
of mistakes.
Not being an eye candy
amazingly beautiful
was a mistake
It must feel great that your life has a soundtrack
Forget responsibilities, you'd rather sit back
Relax, just be a character not claiming any agency
How are you your own side role? Wake up, you ain't no baby
I hope I forget your eyes
And that I couldn't look way.
I hope I forget your smile
Because it makes me wish you'd stay.
I hope I never call you
When its late and I can't sleep.
Holding a vessel of emotion
I stood firm in my dilemma
Without a single thought in mind
I clutched the vessel
With a shivering hand
Wanting to crush it
To set the emotion
Free from the cells
I’m not a machine.
I make mistakes.
Hell, even a computer makes mistakes.
But unlike their errors, I don’t need
you to fix mine. I am my own
programmer. Making the necessary
On the rooftop of a closed shop,
He thought hops to her tube top.
Nonstop they both spit swap,
And the next prop is the countertop.
Him on top,
Again nonstop,
Until the condom pops,
Words never meant to be heard by my earsBut if they concern me, how are they not?If my best friend's voice is heardWhispering mine behind a curtainDoes not my moral compass remain unscathed?
The biggest mistake
That I ever made
Was letting you control me
Like your own pathetic toy.
None of it was worth it.
I never should have let you in.
But now I caged myself
Into my own torture.
Our clock is tickingAs our last years are coming to an endA time when we leave our childhood years,When we leave all our old friends.The old tree diesAnd the new roots beginAs we part our separate ways
I joined the Lincoln soccer team this year
My position for the team was goalie
I blocked the blazing ball and heard the cheer
Then the mistake I made was unholy
You're walking home from the store
It's burning on the pavement floor
You have this sudden urge, what for?
To pick it up and smoke it
You've never cared to try it
When "peer-pressure" as they call it
After a game of playful looks and bashful talks
On a night of a friends birthday
He blurted out for me to be his
I, too quickly, accepted
To only find out that we were determined to block out another
The dagger thatyou jolted into my heart is not going to be stuck inside your ice cold soul
Every last drop of love left rains down with the blood dripping from the wound
I was always confuse....lost....naïve.....dumb.
I was always the girl to get it last.
Looking back, I was blinded by love.
I reached for the stars& hold onto the broken ones.
