We all make mistakes,

But they say it’s only natural.

We all learn from mistakes,

And it helps us improve for the future.

It’s what makes us human.

 

I’ve made mistakes here and there,

But they said to try harder next time.

I try harder over and over,

And it’s never enough to them.

This is what makes me human?

 

I thought we all make mistakes,

And learn from them and improve our skills.

But all it seems is that I do only wrong,

And that’s all the world sees in me.

But does that make me human?

 

I’m rated over my mistakes,

Instead of what I’ve achieved or can do.

I’m trapped in a shadow,

That’s filled with hatred towards myself.

So I’m really not human after all?

 

I just want to show what I’m made of.

I can learn from my mistakes.

I want to come out of this horrible shadow.

I wish to feel something other than regret.

I want to be human to.

 

But they refuse to see who I am.

They keep telling me I’m not worth anything.

They said to stay away and give up.

Their words have left me dead inside.

It’s as if I’m not human after all.

 

Can I come out of this shadow?

Can I change how they see me?

Am I really not worth anything?

All I make are only mistakes?

 

Am I human?

They say that making mistakes is what makes us human.

But based on how I seem to only mess up, and how everyone
tells me that I should give up and shut myself away, I feel
that I'm not human.
I'm nothing but a mistake...

Of course you're human, Katelyn! A really sweet and kind one too. Heart 
I know exactly how you feel. Every day I screw up, and I always get yelled at for it ;-;
But you just gotta stay positive, I guess?
I don't really know you that well yet so this may seem kinda weird XD
Like I said before, I don't really know you that well, but from what I see, you're a really sweet person who cares about what she loves. You seem like a wonderful person, and your friends are very lucky to have someone like you as a friend. ^ ^
