Mistakes
I wish
That I could fix
My mistakes.
Be a different person,
Provide a different
Light for me.
I don't want
To be thought of
As harsh, mean,
And someone that
No one can talk to.
I want to be
That one person
That someone
Can count on,
Depend on.
I wish that
Pony could come to me
To spill his guts.
I wish that
He would come to me
For advice.
I wish that
He would lean on me
To cry,
Or for comfort.
I wish that
He would treat me
As he does Sodapop.
I know that I made
A lot of mistakes
Especially when it came
To this family,
But I never thought
That I messed up this badly.
I wish that
There was a way
To be forgiven
But for the things
That I've done or said,
Forgiveness can't be
Accepted.
Ponyboy,
I am so sorry.
