The mistake I carry…
I will write about the past mistakes,
which are too difficult to forget.
I will write about the desires
that I have and the dreams I’ve dreamed of,
but I left them behind because of fear.
Fear of getting judged by someone,
the mistakes I’ve dealt with—
they were very wrong.
My family was hurt very much.
But that too was a mistake.
They always regret it,
and make me feel guilty,
which hurts me.
They are not forgetting it.
And I am not forgetting it either.
