Unique Mistakes.

Uniqueness is a word tossed around quite a lot now-a-days.

The idea that we are all different in the way we act-the things we say.

We are unique.

It’s like a snowflake, they all look very different from each other but you can always count on them having six sides.

We all think, act, and speak differently but you can always count on us being humans.

We are all humans who make mistakes.

Each mistake, changing the world’s tides.

Each of us have our own unique lists of mistakes some similar, but always different.

It’s time for us all the take ownership of these mistakes.

No more time for excuses.

This world is getting tired of our abuses.

So are other people.

When we say don’t dwell on the past it doesn’t mean you forget about it and act like it was never there.

We still need to fix them; if your mistakes were your clothing what would you have to wear?

By now I think you’ve realized I’m not talking about the simple mistakes.

I’m talking about the ones that purposefully hurt other people.

Some of you may not even think of them as mistakes.

Through your actions,

Some of the simplest words can make their day.

While others put a stake into their heart,

Don’t let your words or actions destroy another’s life.

We are all unique people.

Don’t let someone’s differences be their undoing,

Use this to do the smoothing of those tattered clothes you’re wearing.

Help them to make themselves feel better about whom they are.

We have been sitting to long.

It’s time to stand and defend those hurting around us.

This poem is about uniqueness.

Embrace the unique people around you.

Don’t despise them.

Don’t wear the tattered clothing that are your mistakes.
