I Made a Mistake

Written: 11/12/2005

I made a mistake
Formed in solitude
Arranged by exclusion
Concieved for correction

I made a mistake
Can't take it back
Neither white out nor delete
Can eradicate my act

I made a mistake
Caused damage to victiums
Caused karma, regret
Blame, judgment, enstrangement

I made a mistake
Can't take it back
Does it yet breathe
The air you lack

Do you allow it
Restrain on your future
I need allow it
Only to pass

No, isismarie, we can't take it back. But when forgiven, it is (should be) as if it never took place.

This is really cool. I like that you are able to capture the human error in it. I would say that no matter what mistakes we make in life, we can't take them back, but in the end, its the remorse that means the most. Good job.

This is getting a bit too obvious, we need to cover our trax. Why don't we meet at .....

Seriously, though, I only wish I had these words when I was younger!
