Mistakes

Everyone makes mistakes.
If we didn't, how else would we learn?
Ever since I was little I've been told you could always fix a mistake.
I would like to tell you that that is a lie.

When your a little kid if you break a vase, and say sorry its okay.
If you knock someone over, and say sorry with a big hug its okay.
When your past the age of ten though if you do something wrong, and say sorry they call you a liar.

I've made a lot of mistakes.
All the big ones I have yet to make up for.
Actually, its impossible to make them up.
If someone leaves you there gone.
You can beg all you want.
Your only humiliating yourself.

Now a days you must be perfect.
One little slip of the tounge will change your life.
One little nudge and someones gone.
Something always happens with every move you make.

Why do we all put up with this?
What ever happend to forgive, and forget?
