Please be gentle,
And understand you’re only human,
Mistakes are made,
As no one is infallible,
No one is perfect.
**
Accept the error made,
Forgive yourself,
Acknowledge you’re doing the best you can.
**
Don’t take one mistake to heart,
Allowing all you’ve done right
To slip into oblivion,
It’s not fair on yourself.
**
Mistakes are for learning,
Not for crippling angst,
Remember you’re here to grow.
**
Be kind,
Do not crucify yourself,
You’ll not remember in the years to come,
So live, learn and let be.
**
You’re not your mistakes,
You are the sum of your experiences,
You expand with every lesson,
Becoming a better version of yourself,
So please be gentle.

Colleen Millsteed
My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
