Mistakes

Appletree

Muddled mischievous mistakes.

I make them regularly.

They slip out when I'm not looking,

run into a conversation, Raccoons in my mental garbage.

 

Often they start innocently enough,

a point to be well-made,

an idea or comment to be shared,

but then they turn, damned cacophonies of confrontation, damned too for their source.

 

I watch, floating above the situation

as myself betrays me

I cringe at his naivety,

this outspoken, opinionated, oh here he goes again man.

 

Does everyone feel this way?

Others steer a straighter path,

I drift, lost in an ocean of anxiety.

These muddled mischievous mistakes.

    Beautiful 💗

    Great post, very relatable. And you use humour to express frustration, refreshing change from all the anger around.

      Not always the case.....I get angry too often I suspect. You're right though, we all need to relax a ltille.
