Mistakes...

Everyone makes mistakes
Little mistakes
Big mistakes
Huge mistakes
they follow you around
They drag at your heels
They wiegh you down like the sky is falling

Mistakes have repercussions
Like a pebble thrown in a lake
they have a ripple effect...
spreading out slowly,
And any attempt you make to cover them,
only draws more attention to them

Those ripples effect thier surroundings
they temporarily change things
The only way they will return to normal is if you leave them alone,
And just remember to think before you throw that stone...

...You might give a fish a concussion.
