Mea Culpa

No one likes upsetting the ones they love.
Sorry’s the only fix most can think of.

Yet, there is a better thing we can do.
Instead of saying “sorry”, self-review.

Interrogate regret & find the fix…
Next time the action itself can be nixed.

“Sorry” on a loop will grow ill & wilt.
A threadbare apology drowns in guilt.

So, try not to think “sorry means resolve”.
Plan what to do next time; plan to evolve.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
