Minor Mistakes, Major Worries

Minor Mistakes, Major Worries

I am not perfect
This is no surprise
I make many mistakes
There is no disguise

I am my own worst enemy
I notice every defect
I worry relentlessly
About faults I detect

I make silly mistakes
That others forget
But my mind replays them
Thus making me fret

I sometimes wonder
If there is a shut-off switch
For this worrying mind of mine
Perhaps it is some kind of glitch

I’ve got to look past
The thoughtless acts of mine
And find forgiveness for myself
And know things will be just fine
