Will My Mistakes Follow Me?

Will you walk out the door, trace the steps of my soul, disregard my privacy, and burst out in the middle of nowhere, amidst strangers, just to showcase your disgraceful self?

Or would you sit still with me in my discarded thoughts as though nothing ever happened like the saying goes – shit happens life goes on?

Or would you walk side by side with me through the dark and the light, guiding my path so that one day – next time, tomorrow, the future – I may tread cautiously?

Would you follow me regardless, serving as a yardstick to level the path and trajectory for these young ones, showing them that my mistakes can be lessons to learn from? For indeed, it is from others’ pitfalls that we find cheaper lessons

Would you remind me of the full picture, or show snippets of well-deserving thoughts that, if acted otherwise, might have ended me?

Would you forgive and forget, knowing that later my consciousness will remind me of the inherent strength I assumed in overcoming the trials and hurdles before me?

Would you beat the shit out of me every 2am wondering what mess I have been, what failure I have become?

Would you dampen my spirit and energy, shelving my confidence and knack for openness, all for fear of repetitive behavior?

Or would you just shy away and fret each time a soul unconsciously echoes the elements of what has been made ghost among people and structures, according to your measures of healing?

Would you heal graciously and accept the challenge that though you fell once

Though you had no power or control over the situation you’re only responsible for the narrative disseminated across people, nations and tabloids?

Will my mistakes follow me?

Will they refer me back to sometime five years ago you did that, said that, went there, sat there, stood there on and on and on?

Would they reason with the narrative, “foolishness is bound in the heart of a child”?

Your experience is unique and entirely your own, and only you can choose the meaning of these encounters to shape and strengthen your reality!

You fell once, and you’ll rise a million feet above ears and eyes, unfazed by negativity.

You press FORWARD!
