A life without mistakes is impossible

There are no rules, formulas, and the only true solutions, choices... truth. Truth is a lie... If I could find that algorithm of actions, if I could learn to think and act as it would be right... I'm wrong... What if... What if... Maybe that turn here was a mistake?

There is no bringing back the past, and we build our lives on mistakes... the result is that we are left with unanswered questions. And, we can sort of broadcast this, passing it on to our children, trying to keep them safe, give them the best, saving them time... In vain. Sooner or later their "wrong turn" will be decisive... for them!

Here you were living,
Getting strong,
He took the blows in silence,
The pain was unbearable
Smoked tiredly in the night,
Staying awake and searching for meaning.
All the time he was letting loose
To your own inflamed thoughts.

Losing weight, working out
Joyful and stubborn by day,
Half-dead in the evenings,
Half-empty, drunk.
Tried to love to the grave
But it didn't work out so well:
You ended up waiting for both of you
Betrayal and backstabbing.

There you were,
Washed up for years,
Clenched his fists and his teeth,
Endured both fire and water,
And dirty, empty pipes.

Now to summarize,
Write on the sheet flat,
Don't think about the syllable right now,
You're not going to be much of a talker.
⠀
Write:
"I'm sitting up straight:
Pumped up, silent
I've become a samurai, Mom
And you should have been happy."

Life without mistakes is sad, boring and impossible. And the choice is yours - to take risks or to be confident in your peace of mind.... when you are not alone.
