Mistakes have names we hope to never speak: Anger, lust, jealousy, selfishness, rage. Mistakes are words we bestow on the weak, Or the young, as we get better with age. Mistakes are pseudonyms for impatience: Insecurity, coldness, raised voices. Mistakes describe us when we don’t make sense, Or too immature, to grasp our choices. Mistakes are identities we mistrust: Ego, narcissism, self-loathing, shame. Mistakes we avoid and avoid them we must, Or we thought, we must forgive all the same. Mistakes may come from dissatisfaction, Or frequently just, overreaction.

Sonnet To Names Of Mistakes
Mistakes have names we hope to never speak: Anger, lust, jealousy, selfishness, rage. Mistakes are words we bestow on the weak, Or the young, as we get better with age. Mistakes are pseudonyms for impatience: Insecurity, coldness, raised voices. Mistakes describe us when we don’t make sense, Or too immature, to grasp our choices. Mistakes are identities we mistrust: Ego, narcissism, self-loathing, shame. Mistakes we avoid and avoid them we must, Or we thought, we must forgive all the same. Mistakes may come from dissatisfaction, Or frequently just, overreaction.
