Surrendering to Mistakes

No matter

how old I get,

I will practice

being humble

like

a buzzing bumble bee

consistent in its hum.

And

with all the best intentions

to do the right thing for others

and for myself –

that if I fuck up,

I will yield to remorse

and admit

my wrongdoings

wholeheartedly.

To surrender

to the pain and anguish –

That…

is retribution.

I take a breath.

Think.

Clear the cobwebs

and acknowledge the mistake.

A mistake that if

there was a such thing as

a “do-over,”

it would be  done

differently.

I take a second breath.

Think.

And apologize

from the heart so

that you know I am

genuine and sincere.

I take a final breath

And feel!

So that I can learn and be a

better performer — a

better person.

The next time around.
