NOT REEL LIFE

You can't splice

The bad parts

From your life

The same way

Professionals

Splice a movie.

Retakes are out

Errors remain.

Life flows on

Day by day

You may do a deed

Over, and better

But you can't nor

Shouldn't change the fact

That mistakes were made

For that is how one grows.
