Mistakes I have made are many,
Yet none so great that
I can’t seek forgiveness.
They made me seem
as though I’m insignificant,
That I won’t ever amount to anything.
For the most part,
They were right!
That was my impression.
But now I know the way.
It wasn’t some startling revelation
It’s just that now I have pride and dignity,
Knowledge of self-esteem.
If it took years of stumbling
to find a treasure such as this,
Then so be it
The end does justify the means.
