Wrong Time

By TO

When I was home

I had da wrong mind

Sometimes I was at the wrong place

At da wrong time

I use to play da game

And have da wrong plan

I feel as though I’m da wrong type of man

My good words are blind

I think I did things at da wrong time

    TO, I like that you feel as though you should grow to be a better individual, everyone should strive to make themselves a better individual because no one could be considered perfect.

    TO,
    I really love this poem. Your acceptance of the fact that you did wrong at points in your life is admirable. I love the flow that comes from this poem and its honesty. I also hope that you don’t think of yourself as the wrong man, just as someone who is acknowledging their wrongdoings and trying to change their ways. Keep on writing – you have a lot of talent.
    Abby
