Mistakes

Nobody is perfect
So we are prone to making mistakes
But it shouldn't be taken for granted
That to err is human
That we do not have reflections;
There are bound to be regrets, but don't fret
Least to know something precious is at stake
Yet something is lost, we couldn't get it back
Even if to make amends
Something is already lost to the oblivion.

Our life is a series of mistakes
To grow, to learn, to appreciate, to accept
Sometimes we have a chance to rectify
Sometimes not so lucky
Perhaps then we should be so consciously aware
Of our actions, especially if they cause pain to others;
Our life has many events that we must partake
We could never run away from that facts
Despite the tears that we cry
The pain that we can feel
No matter now how much we want to care
Something is just gone forever.

Hope one day, we truly learnt from our mistakes
Stop putting a finger on another
Acknowledge that 4 other fingers point to ourselves
Can we remain so ignorant
Can we be so selfish to the pain that we have
Never realize that the pain we have inflicted on others;
Hope one day, from our mistakes, we grow for our own sake
That we don't make the same mistakes ever
To be a better person, and for others as well
Surely one day, the sun will shine upon us again
What we lost, will come back to us
That we will find another perfection in another, truer.

With a bagful of mistakes over our shoulder
We walk the path ahead
Not looking back to correct the past
But to improve our own future
To be a better person;
Someone awaits just round the corner
Start the journey, not fret
This time, it might just be so right, it will last
This time, it will be so beautiful, a painted picture
For all the mistakes we made, this is the one reason.
