I'm not your mistake so please don't correct me
I'm not your mistake,
so please don't correct me,
infect me with lies,
cut my life from existence,
your obsessive, relentless,
perfected persistence.
I'm not your mistake,
put your rubber away,
I won't be erased,
by the truth of today.
I'm not your mistake,
I'm not your correction,
I'm not the wrong answer,
but I'm far from perfection.
I'm not your mistake,
so don't break me in rage
don't crush me,
I'm not just the words on the page,
I'm not your mistake
so don't judge me like art,
after all, it's from failing,
that improving can start,
I'm not your mistake,
so please don't correct me,
I respect that you're trying,
but you can't redirect me.
