"I got this"
Unintentional actions
Played out from the
Distractions
Of life
Feeling my fine self
Not studying the hand
I was dealt♣
Just call me the sassy cute one
A smart ale ck attitude
So what if I was rude?
"I got this" I say smacking my glossed lips
Sliding my tongue across my teeth
On top of the world,
Some chicks beneath

Rolling my eyes to the sky
Hands on my rotating hips
Crushing confidences
Breaking hearts
Recovering from Humpty's Fall
Saying" Yes"
Instead of No!
Hands against my back
Pushing myself off the wall
Revelations that revealed who was fake
Just a few of my mistakes
Not many said,
"Girl kick your heels Up, continue to race!"
I've hurt some folks along the way
Berry Kisses I send them
To God I pray the salts on their pillows
Are turned into triumphant days!

Mistakes can be denied,
by Olive Lewis
Just a mistake waiting to happen,
I was conceived in the heat of passion.
I don't know why I came to this earth,
Or why I was
