Mistakes
by Thereasa Byrd
I've made my mistakes
more then once
cut my hair
slit my wrist
used a needle for heroin
smoked J's till I fell down.
Killed so many brain cells
couldn't wait till I grew up
started early
I'm not proud I shot up
in my veins
knowing what I was doing
my biggest mistake
was none of these
but keeping it all inside.
