1 mistake

They're all here watching me 

Watching me fall to my knee begging for help 

But all they do is stand there 

Their eye are like knives stabbing me 

Now I'm bleed ask for someone to help me but they don't 

They use to see me as an angel but I made one small mistake 

Now all they can is the mistake I had 

How is that they said they will be here for me but now they threw me aside

Why do they let that one mistake define me 

How come all the good I've done mean nothing now

Must I be a robot to fit into their high expectation of me 

The expectation that I have to be good at everything 

If you make one mistake there must be something wrong with you now explain to me how that makes sense

How am I not suppose to make mistakes I'm human after all 

A human that will break if you put some much pressure on 

I some time to be perfect but I know that I can't be perfect 

I'm human I will make mistakes 

So please help when I make them instead of pushing me down

The more you push me down the more I fall the more mistake I will make 

That angel you saw before will never rise again  

Who will take the blame, will you

Or will it be forever the angel's fault

Nice poem! It does a nice job of telling people that even if you try to be perfect, and fail, true friends have your back. I hate making mistakes, so I hope I don't have friends like that. "I'm human I will make mistakes..." so true, Chrissy. Well written, I love your work.
