Mistakes Happen

July 6, 2013

"Levantate por que te vas a apestar"

("Get up because you will start to smell')

He wakes me up

and forces me to strive.

"Pencils werent meant for art

Mistakes make you creative."

She places the pens into my hands

and forces me to strive.

"Don't be sorry,

Be smart"

He picks me up, tell me to try again

and forces me to strive.
