Our Mistakes

If we lower our standards, how low
can we go?
If you sink too far, will anyone let
you know?
How far down, is the bottom that we’ll
touch?
When we get to the bottom, did we let
it sink too much?
Is there any way back out, to get on
our feet again?
Or do we just give up, and say we’ve
reached our end?
Everyone has their standards, that
they try not to break.
But it doesn’t always work, we just
get all the aches.
That is when you just, face reality
with a grasp.
Then you get the feeling, the end has
come too fast.
We finally make it to, where it all
will end.
This is where you find out, on who
you can depend.
It shows their true colors, for
everyone you know.
Who is your true friend, is really
what will show.
Those that stand beside you, no matter
what it takes.
Are the ones that will look past, all
of your mistakes.
