I learn to take the blows for mistakes

I learn to take the blows for mistakes
With full humility and proper self-assessment -
To be grown-up, to know what it takes
To gain a dignified human placement.
 
When carelessness and laziness prevail,
It's only a matter of postponed trouble.
I can advise how bad they are; and may
Explain details of this confusing bubble.
 
I can explain, as falling into traps
Does not prevent tutorial advances.
It helps discover when the soul corrupts,
And then discard the sins in mourning stanzas.
 
I teach myself how to reduce the pains
Of the mistake that surely remains.
