Errors approved

I was quick to judge a wrong done unto me

And dismiss off the act as malicious as it could be

Until one day I realized it is not always so

The frenemy does not even bother to crosscheck and go

They were actually in the midst of their own little battles

And in the bargain ended up indulging in useless tattles

 

I was under the impression that the public at large

Tends towards a tendency to push shove and barge

When their own interests are at sea and in danger

I would scuttle back in my world and hide in my manger

Until one day I realized they are rudderless as well

There is so much pretense going around it is hard to tell

 

I was always afraid of so much – brashness belief opinion

In front of crowds I felt like an inconsequential minion

Until I realized the error of my ways and thinking

For confidence enough to look in the eye without blinking

I must search strength within not look for backing outside

I must trust my own findings putting public opinion aside

 

Missteps are a process not necessarily wrong or right

The idea is to correct them not be ready to pick up a fight

Whether I offended someone or someone pulled off a con

I must be prepared to apologize and move on

In between breathing oxygen and breathing out CO2

Life teaches you how mistakes can be worthwhile too
