Mistakes That I Have Made Poem by Heather Taylor

these mistakes i have made
throughout my life
will forever cut through me
like a razor sharp knife
i am facing now
time in jail or drug court
and from the prosecutor
i have no support
which is completely my fault
for making these choices
and listening to the wrong
set of inner voices
ill be back around
after this stent in jail
or another year in arkansas
damn i wish i could erase
every past flaw.
learn from childhood mistakes
and leave them there
be wiser as an adult
and become aware
