Mistakes
June 2011 (10th Grade)

Everyone makes mistakes.
So why my pride, must it take?
I never meant any harm.
Who knew one slip would set off the alarm?
When I try to fix it,
I seem to miss it.
When I try to help,
I seem to hurt everyone else.
Sometimes it takes all I have to pray
just to get me through the day.
I'll throw my hands in the air,
and maybe one day they'll see how much I care.
Only time can erase.
'Cause everybody makes mistakes.
