Mistake

The lover I never asked for 💖

Not everything in the world is perfect, but I believe there’s perfection to be found in everything if we look deep enough and open our minds. One of my favorite things to do is write about dark topics and share the light ✨ that I’m sometimes fortunate enough to uncover. Today, I’ve chosen to write about mistakes.

In life, we all make mistakes that can set us back, and leave us feeling ashamed. Yet, in another light, despite the pain they cause, I still find these mistakes to be perfect and even a bit sexy. So today, I’ve decided to explore my romance with a fiery being named Mistake - a lover I never asked for 💋.

My name is Mistake
And I am perfect
Perfect even in the nature of what I am
A paradox, yet the closest friend of Fate
Why do I exist? What purpose do I serve?
Just like everything else, I am here for you to use.

So use me, look into my soul
Use me as a dark mirror
A mirror that lights up the choices made
A mirror that illuminates the paths diverged.

So use me, trace your touch along my skin
Use me as a gentle nudge
A reminder when you falter
That no journey (any journey) is ever linear
It is all a dance of missteps
So use me, and I can promise
A path paved with beauty and graceful recoveries.

So baby, use me, claim my lips
Take my breath like it’s yours
Use me as a lesson
A lesson etched in the corridor of time
A lesson imprinted with truth upon your own growth
A stepping stone, please use me.

Call me by my own name
Scream your prayer, shout your desire
Top of your lungs, like a battle cry
Use me as your wisdom, when you cross through life
A teacher in disguise
Walking your bones through shadows
Dipping your spine in regrets
Smoking you slow like a cigarette
Bitter but sweet, a taste of your Ego Death
Revealing the silhouette 👤 of my dear friend, Darkness
So you may understand that even in Lady Sin’s depth
There still lies understanding, waiting to bloom.

Thank you, Mistake
You are perfect
Mesmerized, I fell for you
An enchanted love born of error
Yet my Mistake, you left me marked
Countless bruises, you let me burn ❤️‍🔥
Yet I can’t help but to love you more
For every bruise comes a story to tell
A testament to my resilience
A radiant beauty in my becoming
So I understand now, you are not my enemy
But a masterpiece of who you are meant to be.

Yes, I see you now, my Destiny
I’ll shake your hands, embrace the scars
Pressed and burned deep into my skin, so bizarre
Lost the way, or have I found '“the” way?
Hope my sorrow can light someone’s day
Hope my woe can spark someone’s night
Hope their struggles turn into paths of light 🤍.
