Mistakes

Where there are times when the leaf falls...

It separates from its tree...

And becomes a burden for the dust.

Glass could shatter,

And we may be pierced as a whole.

We may say the wrong words,

And sing a frozen tongue to a heated heart...

We may grasp a wooden spoon,

And beat ourselves at our own mind games.

We may fall beneath the bridge,

And get carried away into a vast waterfall.

Things like this happen.

And it's easier said for when it hasn't happened.

When the pool is full of leaches,

Get out.

When your shoes are covered in gum,

Take them off.

When your family tells from false teeth,

Close your ears.

We have a mind,

That is a strong magnet.

So when we take words,

We become metal,

And get sucked into the devil's nail.

So be cautious of yourself.

It isn't worth a rope of problems.

It isn't worth making yourself a pot of ash,

But it is worth another step you will take.

Mistakes make us more.
