Kind mentor
It's good he mentioned
don't worry
it's not to bad he said
when I messed up
It's just totally human girl
when I shook my head
don't make fuss he said
when I felt really embarrassed
It's good there are people
who show us when we cannot see
that failures and mistakes we make
are not a crime or insanity
They help us to show
that there are other ways
where we can leave our footprints
for you to see some day
Most of the time we are
to harsh on ourselves
I ask you please do have
some mercy on yourselves
