The Beauty of Making Mistakes

There is beauty in making mistakes
Then again, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
There is beauty beyond the pain
How sensitive are your pain receptors?

Some mistakes I’ve made, I wish life gave me a free pass
Mistakes are lessons, when did I enrol for this class?
Two wrongs don’t make a right, why did I feel I could with three?
Some mistakes could have been prevented because the consequences were foreseen
But my creative side wanted to paint the red flags green
And my ambitious side took unnecessary risks because I believed I would win

I sometimes do things when I know I shouldn’t, then beat myself up for days
I’m not where I want to be yet and I hope one day my self-doubt will fade
Overthinking everything is draining, no wonder I’m skinny
But it’s more psychological than physical, stop trying to feed me
I’m not perfect and I think that’s beautiful
You kicked me when I was down, how pitiful

I’m wiser now, I love the transformation
It wasn’t an easy path to my own redemption
One day ill share my story about Life’s greatest lessons
I don’t know how yet, but I’m open to Suggestions
Because I know sharing wisdom is one of life’s greatest Successes
