Mistake

You could say I’ve made a mistake or two

And I’ve apologized till my face turned blue

So why is it that I feel

Like everyone’s turned to steel

My heart forever broken

By a love best left unspoken

Every time I open a door

I am met with the floor

And I wonder why

I continue to try

A life of fantasy

Is the only one I want to see

A practice that’s frowned upon

And yet I’m too far gone

So why should I care

When life is increasingly hard to bear

And I can’t remember when

Life was rated a ten
