I will lay down in the comfort of my mistakes
Rolling around in all my unnecessary risk
Mock me and harassed me all you want
But i'll tell you that I’m proud of the things that I’ve done
I wont stuff them in a box and put them away
I wont let them sink to the bottom of a bay
They will always be a part of me
I'll show case them and set the free
Some glued and beaten down in the fibers of my brain
Others pined and tattooed onto my skin
Always there to remind me of my wrongs
Forever comforting me and keeping me strong
Even if I’m asleep or awake
I will lay down in the comfort of my mistakes

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
