In the quiet of the night, I ponder
The missteps that have marred my way
Each mistake a painful blunder
Yet each dawn brings a brighter day

Through the maze of life, I’ve wandered
With scars that tell a thousand tales
Every fault a lesson pondered
Every loss a wind that sails

Though the path is often rugged
And the journey fraught with fear
Mistakes have taught me to be grounded
To face each challenge, year by year

In the end, it’s not perfection
But the strength to rise again
To find in flaws a new direction
And in the failures, wisdom gain
