I Make So Many Dumb Mistakes

I make so many dumb mistakes
Each one never realizing
The mess I'll make

So many lessons
I've yet to learn
All the bridges
I've come to burn

My parents I don't
Want to let them down
But it seems that everything I do
Brings their faces a frown

I really want to make them happy
But I want a little fun
I screw up each time
And, I cry when I see what I done.

I want to make my parents so proud
But I can't seem to so everything I do
Seems to somehow bring them down

I sit and cry about all my mistakes
Yet, I'm not sure how
Much more I can take

I pick up the pieces
And I try to move on
Tomorrow's a new day
With a brighter dawn.

Author notes

Ok...So I wrote this one night when I got in a lot of trouble for sneaking out of the house. Honestly the only "bad" thing I've ever done. And, this is kind of how I felt. Any suggestions to make this better is greatly appreciated.
