ONE SMALL MISTAKE

It takes only one small mistake,
To make your world crumble and shake.
If your fall from grace is hard to take,

Try to make amends for sanity's sake.

How many are your real friends,
When loneliness fills your weekends?

The meaning on which your life depends,
Will ring hollow if your happiness ends.

Are you some kind of simple fool,
Acting like you are fresh out of school?
Can pure innocence be so cool,

When in this world you're just a tool?

Depression, regrets and self-pity,

Broken conscience and lost dignity,

These are your companions in reality,

As no one will buy your last sincerity.

Never should you try to tell your little tale.

If every little lie becomes a whale.

Like a ghost with a face so pale,
People will forget when your story turns stale.   

No more the sweet life you were once keen,
For the handsome man that you had been,
And your beautiful wife, your queen

Will now never be heard from nor seen.
