mistakes
I've made mistakes,
that I can't deny,
But I'm only human I reply.
I can't help but do the things I do,
I can't help but say the things I say,
I can't help but love the people I love,
That's just me.
And that's how I'll always be.
True,
I've stumbled and tripped over my own feet,
created disaster & wreaked havoc among my own,
My family, those who are suppose to love me,
but I don't mean it.
I don't mean to do it,
it just happens,
Something I cannot always control.
You'd think,
after making a mistake once I'd learn from it,
but instead,
I repeat history,
I do it again.
and in doing it again,
I lose whatever trust was earned,
whatever respect was earned,
Whatever love was earned,
and it just slips away.
All because of these mistakes.
