Never Regret Mistakes

Life is full of mistakes,
and the biggest, are the ones you'll never forget.

The small ones just barely scratches,
the biggest could be the best moments in your life.

It may not seem it now,
but you will look back and laugh at all the stupid things you have done.

The nervous moments before a concert,
the horror of a broken bone,
the laughter of the playground,
the whisper of a secret in your ear,
the skipping of your heart,
the mending after a silly fight.

All these moments make your life,
a mysterious, fun filled land to play in.

Never regret past mistakes,
just think of them as another lesson learned.
Once learned you will never make the same mistake again,
you'll never forget.

Mistakes are just bad luck,
lurking in the dark, waiting for you to turn the corner,
to pounce on you and play a trick in this once peaceful game.
Just turn a blind eye and continue on,
it will get bored of trying stupid tricks.
