To Admit Mistakes Made Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The biggest mistake anyone can make,
Is admitting not wishing to be perfect.
And daring publicly to acknowledge,
That being a human being can be challenging.
With attempting to do this,
Without pretensions to charade.
In a comfort that accepts,
Nothing else.
Since approval to be who one is,
And thankful about it...
Is a success to have achieved.
That leaves one proud to be able,
To admit mistakes made.
Blemishes and flaws.
Corns on toes.
And a dislike for imitators.
Limiting their lives to live deluded.
