Making mistakes plus new 'Photo'

Hi,

Here's a new, high quality AI image below I 'created' which represents me as a melancholic, middle aged writer. Impressive technology.

But firstly, how do you view your mistakes? Some refuse to acknowledge that they make any at all.

Here's a little insight into mine. 

Mistakes

 

Like it might be for you

I am more a product

Of my mistakes

Rather than successes

As one far outweighs the other

Causing emotional pain

And therefore self-reflection

So, we can alter our attitudes

To avoid that hurt again

Until the next disappointment.

 

Success usually prompts a repeat

(It must be a ‘recipe’ after all)

Though rarely do all the pieces

Remain static.

 

Perhaps I’m being presumptuous

In speaking for you

Or anyone else

When I can barely work it out myself.

 

All I know

Is that I don’t really know

Or I’d get the balance right

Every time.

 

I simply know to expect

The unknown

As even mistakes

Aren’t always known

Until afterwards.

 

They’re simply

Plans of action

Sprinkled (or soaked) with hope

With the outcome

Out of our control

Left to the stars

And the realm of the gods.
