Falling and Failing

Lord, will you catch me
when I fall in failure again?

Why can’t I understand
that I can’t change the past,
only influence the future?

I’m glued to the present
although my feet try
to become unstuck to fate.

These mistakes I’ve made
will never escape me,
but I can overcome them
instead of letting them
consume me.

Yet if I turn back,
I’ll just repeat them.

So I look forward and hope
that you will find me
in my latest breakdown
and fix me.
