Mistakes

Mistakes

By: Monica Renata

I need to take a step forward

But decided to take a step back

For going forward had uncertainty

And I knew of all that was left back

Consciously planning my decision

Yet I am afraid to fall

So instead I stay in the place

That I have been in for far too long

Trying to revel in perfection

Yet perfection does not reside here

I know this deep down inside

But I choose to not reveal

I can be wrong sometimes

Sometimes I make mistakes

Sometimes my calculations are wrong

Sometimes I forget to love instead of hate

Mistakes of my yesteryears

Still resonate within me

Yet I try to radiate perfection

So all can envy me

But what’s the point of being perfect

Because perfection has no flaws

And with no flaws there cannot be growth

So I will sit still for so long

But I wish to grow so gracefully

I wish to reach my peak

So I shall no longer be afraid of my future

And walk forward undoubtedly

I need to take a step forward

But decided to take a step back

For going forward had uncertainty

And I knew of all that was left back

But after I take two steps forward

Despite my one step back

For my mistakes my be beautiful

And show what I do lack

There is brilliance in uncertainty

There is gracefulness in rising up

There are lessons to be learned in mistakes

So……….

Live life fearlessly

Don’t worry about possible mistakes

Stop trying to be perfect

Fall in love with your beautiful mistakes

Love them

For they helped mold you

For they taught you

For they stick with you forever…

So what are you afraid of?

Why are we so deathly afraid to make mistakes?

The fear of his having a mishap keeps us from venturing on to new things in life?

But why?

I have been afraid

And lost countless opportunities because of this fear

However, when I finally took those opportunities

I learned the greatest lessons in my failures

I am not afraid to make a mistake…….. I know that there are great lessons learned in the faults of life………… -Monica Renata
