Collections Book I: The Words No One Wants to Hear

II mistakes of a ghost II

I have made many mistakes in my life. So many mistakes, so many slip ups and accidents that I could not count. A multitude of scars that mar my skin, my mind, my soul. Oh, how I wish that I did not carry such burdens. Such words that are written so nicely and neatly, yet having a deeper, rougher meaning. Words and scars that we all share. Burdens and baggage we all must carry, and I remember how selfish I am for thinking up such an idea of erasing all of my unwanted despair. The source of my fall is what makes me who I am. Every conflict and every little detail creates our persona. We are made unique with these mistakes.

So how could we ever wish them away?

We stand here, because of our dreams, accomplishments, and wants, but also for the screw ups we have caused and encountered. Mistakes are merely the obstacles in life that we must overcome. We must plow through these obstacles, or jump gracefully over them, in order to survive in the dangerous world that we call Earth.

I have made many mistakes in my life. So many mistakes, so many slip ups and accidents that I could not count. And I would not erase any of my mistakes.

Except for one, the mistake that cost my life.
