My mistakes make me,
My mistakes break me.
You think I'm an ingénue.
My time is long overdue.
But let me tell you:
I'm stronger than you know.
Just let me be,
You'll see.
I may be naïve,
I may be an idiot
ground from idiotic things.
But at least I'm not you.
You think your mistakes aren't shown.
You think that your mistakes don't shape you.
I have news for you buddy
Your mistakes shape your very being.
It covers your soul like scars.
The only way to rid yourself of it,
Is by learning from it.
Learn,
Everyday, every moment.
Learn.
