Mistakes

Minor mistakes, huge blunders

I can’t be right everytime and always

Stumbling over, then getting up

That’s the way I learn in life

Abandoning my guilt and forgiving my own follies, but

Kindness shrinks when it comes to others

Even though I could’ve ignored your silly blooper

Sometimes I just forget to forgive when the fault is yours

"Sometimes I just forget to forgive when the fault is yours" - I really liked this line a lot,
There is just something which I can't describe in this poem but it is indeed one of those poems which I love to read over and over again.
Also, It reminded me of that song "Same mistakes" by James Blunt.
The Acrostic is indeed so beautiful, like always :)

I think that it is hard to forgive oneself but I feel that sometimes we get caught up in feelings and don't forgive others. The past is interesting as we can forget others forgiving us but yet can't forget other parts of our own past to forgive ourselves!

Otherwise I like the acrostic... very nice writing! :)

Life is full of mistakes made,as long as we learn from them,the lesson was a good one.
Well done for sharing this.

Indeed hypocricy abounds , but if we each remain true to ourselves and acknowledge that we cannot change others...all we can do is change how WE REACT to them, their behavior,their choices.......then perhaps , one day, they might see and learn and change by our example. all that aside.....Caffeine I love this one as well...please keep them coming! :)

Ah yes, life is filled with many, Wonderful write.

Many of us have trespasses in our past that we will never forgive ourselves for, while in the same breath would be able to forgive spouses or lovers for things deemed unforgivable. This was very insightful.

Wow, this is very honest. I think it is tough to forgive sometimes. But in order to heal our wounds, we must!
I also agree that it is MUCH harder to forgive ourselves, but again, we must. Very tight acrostic :)

Sometime it is easy to forget to forgive someone else, it is really the hardest to forgive one's self. Thank you for sharing. Debileah
