Me

A Poem by danalyn

A child isn’t allowed to make mistakes 

Of course they are, they are only

Children.”


What if she was not a child anymore?

Then she can make mistakes, 

We are only human


What if she doesn’t see herself

As human, as child


Then what is she?

Perfect

Or is that another mirage?

For she still makes 


Mistakes 

Missteps 

Misdoings

Missings


Missing, the choice

To make an error

The one a child, makes

The one a human, makes


No choice

Only orders, 

That control too much

And give too little 


Be smarter next time

Be quicker next time

Be better

Next time


For her, 

There is no next.

Only this and this chance

Not to mess up
