Wrong Decision

When you make a wrong decision

And you’re feeling not too bright,

Don’t bog down with self-derision;

Try, instead, to set things right.

 

Though it’s tricky to untangle

Strings you’ve tied into a knot,

Dig down deep and find an angle,

Using everything you’ve got.

 

Place a phone call, write a letter

Or make contact with a text

And you might feel somewhat better

With whatever happens next.

 

I’m no expert, though, believe me.

I oft wallow in despair,

But unless my years deceive me,

There’s not much beyond repair.
