Knock knock

"To err is human"

mistake will knock the door,

yet we will never open,

for we had never accepted,

that to mistake is human,

we are arrogant that we know,

the false acceptance in disguise,

to ease the pain of the knocking door,

to be delirious that there is no sound,

mistake is still waiting for the door,

confused why there is no click of lock,

it was planning to leave once it can converse,

but there was no sign for the door to burst

once a one, now a two

once a two, now a ten,

once a ten, now a hundred

once a hundred, now a thousand

now there are millions, knocking sounds

yet we avert our being, knocking sounds

we clog our ears with music, knocking sounds

blind our eyes with sleep, knocking sounds

knocking sounds and the ticking clock,

time will have to let us face the knock,

we are overwhelmed, our emotions rocked,

we are most broken like the rusty lock,

afraid to face the mistakes we had made,

there is no hope the time has been laid,

now the regrets had flooded the gate,

but to regret is human,

Perhaps we forget to be human,

thinking we can be more,

like the bird who can fly high,

or the fish who can dive low,

but to be satisfied is human,

we can't fly too high,

nor dive too low,

to accept is human,

it is time to open the door,

and face the million knocks,

for there is nothing to fear,

for these mistakes are here,

not to hurt or admonish,

but to let you forgive yourself without punish,

and forgive others without solace

now open your arms and smile,

and hug the million mistakes,

tell them thanks and even jest that your room is small,

'You can't all go in, please wait outside'

'Don't knock the door just open it wide'

'I'll all welcome you for you are all mine'

to claim is human

to err is human

and to be human is to forgive
