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.
