Irreversible Mistake

big huge giant life lesson learned the hard way

My self esteem has dwindled

Faster now it unravels from the spindle

I lose myself in stories straight from my Kindle

Avoiding my reality, my mind is in shambles

Every day, every minute, every second my thoughts ramble

What is left to give, pray for me, light the candles

I have lost control, my life I can't handle

My reputation victim to vandle

My future is like the lottery, nothing but a gamble

Trying to put the mess back together that's been scrambled

Wanting to hit rewind, stop or cancel

Desperately grasping to hold on to what's substantial

Should my flaws and mistakes be set as example

How do I pull myself out of this tangle

The way life is, I'd thought I'd never see it from this angle

A happy ending within reach had once been dangled

But it appears that is lost, no more and mangled

Wow. great job!... I like how this flowed.

I love this poem I think a lot of us have things we regret but when we know better we do better. I use to feel this way but I realized that my mistakes made me who I am and I love who I've became. This was a great poem.
