Mistakes Were Made
I…messed up, I have failed at what I promised to do, I made a mistake, and I’m lost.
I am unsure what to do,
I feel as if I’m sinking in a pool that has no bottom,
And as I go down the reassure of the water keeps building,
and my ear drums start to explode in a horrific chorus,
and I feel as if everything around me compacting me into a tiny little ball,
and all I can do is close my eyes and help for the best,
I feel helpless and the world itself is tumbling out of orbit,
I feel as if the core of the world is about to implode,
In other words I feel I have dogged a whole but the dirt keeps tumbling in,
but what if I just accepted my situation as it is,
understood what was happening around me,
would I then be able to stretch my legs,
could I then break the surface or climb out of the whole,
and then could I find that I have simply stepped on a loose stone and all I need to do is grab tight to the mountain I will climb,
and keep moving upwards until I conquer

I think we have all had this feeling of despair after making a crucial mistake. It becomes overwhelming and your heart starts to run at 1,000 mph. Im just trying to describe an experience people can relate to and something I feel happens to me way too much.
