Being Wrong

There’s one thing about being wrong,

That sometimes can be hard.

It’s that lump that you swallow,

When your inward pride is marred.

*****

The pain that you feel,

And that embarrassing taste;

The emptiness inside,

When your plans are a waste.

*****

Where do you go,

When you want to hide?

To erase the suffering,

You feel inside.

*****


You’re afraid to show your face,

To all of your friends.

Alone and ashamed,

Putting off amends.

*****

Does it all matter,

Who is wrong or right?

When your friend is lost

To fear and fright.

*****

It is only human,

To sometimes be wrong.

So swallow it on down,

And come back where you belong.

*****

We are all here,

Waiting on you.

You know deep down,

You belong here too.
