Mistakes

November 5, 2019

Every time I make a mistake
That mistake creates
another vulture circling
Hanging there, waiting
To remind me of that time
I was less than I could be

There are many of them there
It scares me to think
That another could appear
Other people must be able to see them
They must remember that time
That I was less than they wanted me to be

With so many mistakes over my head
That everyone else can see
They must be thinking to themselves
That something's wrong with me
Deep down, they must know what I know
That I'm a mistake

But in time I learned
That other people don't see them
No, they don't care,
because they've made mistakes too
Even though I make mistakes
that does not make me a mistake
