 The mistake
The one that makes
People regret the day we met
With my mind set
To move in life
Holding a pencil and a knife
Not know which one to use to let out my anger
Knowing what is safe and danger
But always choosing the wrong from the right
Trying to put up a fight
But why fight if i get knocked out by round 2
Who ever knew life would be this hard
Trying to stay strong with my guard up
I try to stand up for myself
Always hiding how i feel
When no one knows my deal
Always getting hurt
Getting kicked around like dirt
Caring for one thing
Hearing my phone ring
Covering the bruises on my hand with fake gloves
I punch the wall
While i bawl
My knuckles bleed
But i dont know what i need
So much rage in me
Knowing this isn't a stage in my life
When all i need is the right person
But i worsen
With all these bad emotions
So much commotion
Forcing me to do the wrong
Replaying like if it's a song
I do the same thing again and again
When all i gain is hatred
The mistake was always me
Hoping that things would change with time
But time doesn't change the way you think or write
Not even with a simple rhyme
You change time by the way you plan
Just one man
In the world with so much temptation
Always having frustration
Of what's going on around him
So close to say hi to grim reaper
Cuz it feels like i'm getting deeper
Into this mistake that my parents made 17 years ago
