Mistakes
I know them well.
They have been my companion
even I make them
Wishing I were different
not human but machine.
cold
unfeeling
aloof
unyielding
My soul has been woken
it won't be denied
constantly whispering
persistent
reminding me of my needs, wants and desires
Showing me
what life could be
what life should be
what it is that I want and need
whispering
neverending
My pride causes anger
use it to hide the shame the guilt
place the blame on another.
My soul.
still whispers
urging me
soft whispers deny the pride
Slowly oh so slowly
my eyes open wide
My mind realizes, it reels back
what have I done?
How do I fix it?
can it be done?
My soul it whispers.
honor use it
My mind weary and quiet yields
Admitting the mistake
through bitter tears
wishing, hoping, praying
the lesson well taught
everyone is human
Accept that which you are
Accept that which you do
For once you do that
others will too
