Can’t get that dread,
From under your skin?
Seems embedded there,
So deep within?
You feel such guilt.
Doesn’t go away.
Like a carpet stain,
That just won’t fade.
No amount of cleaner,
Or sudsy soap,
Seems to wash it away,
Feel you’re losing hope.
Still, must not let it,
Of you, get the best.
So you made a mistake,
You didn’t pass the test.
So try again,
And, again if you must.
Until you succeed,
In yourself, should trust.
You’ll feel such freedom,
Possess integrity.
You’ll improve your life,
And, its quality.
For, you’re unique,
Different from the rest.
Walk away from guilt.
Take life on with zest.
Cheer yourself on.
Pat yourself on the back.
Pretty soon you’ll be,
Right back on track.

A wise write and message. Lovely done. Excel
Thanks malubotelho! I appreciate it 🙂
Great stuff. You can't win them all and sometimes you do something that is simply wrong. Been there, done that, got a rainbow of T shirts. Good write.
Thank you dusk arising! Great comment 🙂
I will let the cat pat my back and I pat my chest.
Love the positive attitude to deal with failure in the life.
Thank you.
I appreciate that M & M. Being positive is the best approach, in my opinion. Have to learn and try to find the lesson. 🙂
Good write and very true, mistakes in our lives happen but they all add to our experiences and with experience we can move on.
So true Goldfinch! Thank you so very much.
