Mistakes

I have a heavy heart,
don't ask me why.
For I fear that when you know I shall start to cry.

Will you look at me different?
Will you ever trust me again?
In fact, don't look at me or I will go insane.

I need you to see me as I want,
a perfect human with no defects.
Someone in your life who has an effect.

But the truth is, I am not perfect.
And I have never been pure,
so I write to you, for you to reassure.

Yes I regret the things I did,
I think I have a good heart.
Please say something so I don't fall apart.

So judge me nicely,
don't be unkind,
We all make mistakes, we are mankind.
