The effect of mistakes

You see sometimes honesty is not the best policy,
a flip of a famous cliche, but one that can help in reality.
For if we refuse to be wise, things can end tragically.
We can lose friends and even family,
and this stage of our life won’t end happily.
If we expose some truth that we’re not supposed to,
it will come back and bite you.
For I said too much and can’t take it back,
I’m stuck with my mistakes, like paper and blu tack.
