Mistakes

If there is one thing I could remind you
Dear Alejandro Manzano
Is that you aren't the only one who makes mistakes.
Even when you make mistakes,
Which you will,
Learn to forgive yourself
and learn from your mistakes.



What's the point of carrying those mistakes around?
Don't regret them,
Think of it as an experience,



I know you might be tempted,
Tempted to look back,
Again and again,
At those 'mistakes'.
These are just lessons of wisdom.
Only the future is in your control.
If you really have to look back,
Think about the reason
WHY you made those mistakes.
Oh my dear Alejandro Manzano
Don't run from your mistakes,
And forgive yourself first.
