Julie Neises - My Favorite Mistake

My favorite mistake
keeps stringing me along.
It reminds me of the place
I used to belong.

I think of former friends
making me feel alright.
But that was long before
I set my dreams alight.

I can't even remember
why I said what I did.
Or why I went so far to hide
what need not be hid.

Youth is no excuse
for treating them with disdain.
I have no excuse
for causing others pain.

When I'm pulled into
my next relaspse.
I hope to be forgiven
for my latest mishap.

Julie Neises
