Memento Mori

A phrase that really sticks with me
It plays in my head over and over
Sometimes I wish that I could hear it somber

Memento Mori

It reminds me how everyone sees me
The good and the bad. The happy and sad
I always wonder if their words are true

Memento Mori

The phrase that reminds us that death is coming
That the ones I love might leave before me
Sometimes the thought makes me always look forward

Memento Mori

This phrase is one of death
One of life and one of the best
Some say they don't like it and wait in fear
I want to welcome it's whisper in my ear

So when it creeps up on you and those you care for leave
Just remember that they have really just planted a seed
One that will grow into a tree
It will hold all the memories for all to see

It keeps getting closer and closer
And when it reaches just make sure to remember

Memento Mori, Memento Mori

Mr Mistake
Sydneycowboy Nov 2020
Mistakes happen
One's good and One's bad
Sometimes you won't know how to fix them
They rip and tear until all that's left is memories
And beyond repair so much that you can't even be fond of it

When they happen
You feel all down
The friendships seem to start to crumble
You watch it one by one
All fall apart
Until all that's left is a knife, so sharp

Mr Mistake will grab the knife, and slice you up
Once it's finished you'll be covered in scars
Scars on your arms, scars on your neck
Scars all over and even in your chest
These scars will last forever even if no one can see them

Mr Mistake is ruthless you know
Sometimes I feel like it's pulling me further and further down
It grabs me and scratches at my ankles
And when it's done I'm 6 feet under

Mr Mistake doesn't care
He doesn't care if you can't breath
He does stop to let you weep
He does everything indiscriminately
And he'll make you feel like you're trapped

But Mr Mistake is one who does have flaws
You can pick up what's been torn
When done right you can fix what's broken
Even when tape and glue has fallen

Just remember that when Mr Mistake comes, not to panic
But realise he's here and try to fix it
Mr Mistake will go away with time
But can come back when you think you're fine

Mr Mistake doesn't care for how you feel
But will always stop if you make him yield
He can always be beaten and put in his place
If only you have the determination to stand up and finish the race

— The End —
