I was wrong. I don't know about everyone else, but it's definitely the hardest sentence for me to say. I have no problem saying that I'm sorry. I probably even say it too much. The probably comes with those, "I'm sorry, but....[insert lame excuse here]." I have a bad habit of becoming defensive when someone (my husband usually) calls me out on something I've said or done wrong.
Failure

I was wrong.

Changes come (full version)
Changes come as leaves fall from the trees
Another way to "get through" to them
Said with a chuckle
Amongst coy responses
Told to say what we might take
In stride to look like cake
Like a bad plot in a movie
This talk cant be real
Are people really listening intently?
Look at their faces as these words
Jumble out of lips built for lies

Unable to Find Safety: How the Foster Care System Fails its Children
Imagine that you are seven years old. You’ve just been removed from your home because your father beat you to the point of hospitalization. You’re all alone, with no one to turn to. A strange woman tells you that you are going to stay with another family for the time being.

...
the slow rolling dusk, or grayest gray-
in tangles it falls golden tinsel- of substance!
against the grayest gray.
it all makes sense-
the walls, the curtain, box corners and folds
dark suffocation, escape to dreary (only)
Then is HE
(within! the box)
gallantly trot- more like waves on rocks.
the Big Bird in tight to bosom
SQUAWK!-

Can you hear me?
To my mother
It just occurred to me that I’m trapped. I know what you’re thinking: What are you talking about? Well, let me tell you exactly what I mean.
Fear of Failure or Fear of Success
I am a procrastinator, like many teens, and because of this I put things off until the last minute, including college scholarship applications. Now I have always thought that I was just a procrastinator, but my mother believes that I have a fear of success. Is that possible, I know I have a fear of failure/rejection, but a fear of success? I am not to sure about that.
Failure is not an option
How many times have you heard people say failure is not an option or i can't fail. Well as a high school student i hear it almost daily when it comes to tests, grades, and especially athletics.
