Mistakes

I'm not going to lie or be afraid to say
I've made alot of mistakes in my day
I'm human and not trying to use imperfection as an excuse
But I've tried to do what's right everytime I've ever had to choose
Reality is your not always going to get the right card in your first or even your second pull
And these choices do affect many people
Whether it's good or bad
Someone will feel sad and someone will feel mad
Because when you do make that one choice you can't make the whole world happy

Appreciate the fact a person knows how to make their own choices
And even sound their own voices
Even if you don't like it or it doesn't fit into your expectation
Chances are someday along the line in time you'll be in the same position
Then visa versa will be in effect
No one who is imperfect should judge another who is imperfect
By default we are all imperfect so who's to say who is worse or even different
So i guess we are on the same wave length to a certain extent

So often we forget how short life can be
And the reality that tomorrow we may never see
Life has it's fair share of surprises
Which often may surface in different disguises
We all are no angels and we've all done things we probably shouldn't have
But should that determine how we see each other as an individual

I'm sure our good deeds overweighs our mistakes if we put them side by side in a seat
We all want happiness and the world at our feet
Somewhere along the line we need to forget our needs and wants
Think about someone else first for once
We just need to give more and take less
That's how the human race works at its best
Everyone feels obligated to contribute to each other's living
Because at this point receiving is much better than taking
