Mistakes

by Trinity Rayne

We say and do things we can’t take back and we regret
And people who have hurt us do and say things we may forgive but don’t forget
Mistakes can either be repeated and we learn nothing at all
They keep getting repeated more and more and then we fall
Mistakes can also be learned from and then as a person we learn how to grow
Mistakes are part of being human and it will always show
We can make these choices with our mistakes and on what to do or say
Mistakes are always made every single day
We can either let history itself be put on repeat
And over and over again feel utter defeat
We can learn grow and not let our mistakes define who we are
We can grow wiser from them all and shine brighter than any star
