I’ve made many mistakes in my lifetime
I can’t say I didn’t regret them all
I don’t think I remember them all either.
But the one’s I do remember, they are there as
Reminders that I’m just human and I must not
Rely on my mistakes to help me grow or be wiser.
I must leave my mistakes in the past and move forward
On my own and not use my mistakes to help me get up
When things seem so hard that I can’t go on without taking the easy way out.
But, I’ve realized I like myself more when I know I’ve done the right thing the right way the whole time.
And not only when I fear someone will find out, because my God is always watching so there is no moment I will get away with doing things the wrong way.
So goodbye mistakes I don’t think I will continue to grow old with you.
