ABOUT MISTAKES

VAMP DIGITAL VERSION BY CHRYSSA VELISSARIOU 2014

Throughout my life

I stumble over small pebbles

or on huge rocks of errors ...

I've been hurt many times .

You see I am myopic and gullible,

as also quite easy-going ...

I prefer it though than to

have been shortsighted , 

petty and cantankerous or loveless  

to end up  like some other people 

who live all their life in fear ... 

I also have the natural tendency 

to forgive and process

whatever or whoever makes me sad , 

I always end up being the sad receiver

of the entire load of any error... 

However I have an amazing gift. 

Even after a total disaster , 

I find the strength to regenerate . 

No matter how many times 

I  fall I am able to get up , 

No matter how many times  

they betrayed me 

I can find something to hope further for... 

Think of someone who  

benefits from his mistakes. 

That's me in a maximum way... 

I feel so full of self-knowledge 

that I started overflowing. 

I write and I exist for everyone now . 

I let my neighbor see 

the scars of my wounds ; 

so that through empathy  

the pain caused to his mistakes

to be soothed 

I offer him my strength to get up , 

to continue progressing 

to continue living vanquishing 

despair, grief ,  loneliness or death . 

If you try to become like me , 

you must know  it really hurts ... 

But this torment's worthy your endurance .
