Mistakes


“Don’t screw this up.”

She says

“You can do it.”

She says

“Show how cable you are.”

She says to herself 

 

She forgot,

She messed up,

She tried her best,

It wasn't enough.


 

“You messed up again.” 

She says

“They won’t trust you know.” 

She says

“Why can I not do something right?!” 

She cries to herself

 

It is okay to make mistakes;

my younger self didn’t know.

Now I am older,

I know I am not alone.

It happens to everyone;

No need to cry.
