Sorry, My Mistake

Sorry, My Mistake

animation

Three little simple words,

Yet it’s so hard to say.

Is it because –

I’m always right?

I’m smarter?

I’m perfect?

I’m thorough?

I search –

My mind,

My soul,

My heart,

My attitude.

I am not –

Receptive,

Vulnerable,

Caring,

Humble.

I start to –

Listen,

Love,

Feel,

Give.

Then, I say,

“Sorry, it’s my mistake,

I need from you is forgive.”

  Thank you, it’s hard to do, but it can break the tension. It’s getting easier once I started saying it!

  My first day following the daily prompt. It helps to have ideas of what to write.
