Mistakes
Mistakes are made all the time
to learn from
and try not to repeat
but we do
again and again
I make them you make them too
the words I'm sorry
oops I didn't mean to do that
ouch that hurt
I'm an idiot
they are dumb mistakes
big mistakes
little tiny mistakes
we all make them
some days more often than others
over and over again
forget something
lose something
break something
hurt someone sometimes too
bad mistakes
we are sorry for them
the consequences go away
usually but sometimes not
it was just a mistake
an accident
a bump in the road
mistakes happen
sometimes they can be fixed
often times not
what a mistake is looking for
is forgiveness
nothing more
