Faults

losing all those important things
letting the water run while brushing
staying inside on a beautiful day
gulping and never sipping

loving too early
giving up too soon
hanging on too tightly
casting too many rules to the wind
laughing too loud

judging on first impressions alone
pushing on pull doors
wearing orange, red, and pink the same day
eating dessert before supper

following too close to the leader
running too slow
walking too fast
playing much too rough
swinging far too high

giving up before the next chance
grabbing the blades without thinking
crying and never grabbing a tissue
wanting to end a life

Procrastination.
