Ok now what?
I listened to instructions
Followed them as expected
Now, I am left holding a basket you gave
Carrying the last drops of water that were hard earned.
They leak out because I didn’t use the right tools
But I didn’t know!
I didn’t know!!
Life doesn’t care.
Now having walked all this way
Left with nothing but experience
I start over.
Not quite over
But again.
I start again.
I start again.
Having learnt the lesson.
Hard, though it may have been.
I build again.
Better this time.
Much better for time spent,
Learning from the mistaken lessons
Taught by an out dated time.
