What is a fuck-up?

What is a Fuck-Up? by Ali Scontrino
I don't understand?
Who are you to determine?
We all make mistakes, do something wrong.
Are you beyond it all now that you've aged?
I always thought a fuck-up was someone that has given up on life or lost their goals.
Maybe dipped into harsh drugs and can't come back.
I thought it was someone who stopped caring, whether it be about life, themselves or the people around them.
So I ask again what a fuck-up is? I know I'm not, for I keep going each and every day.
I live life to the fullest and fulfill the goals I give myself.
I heard this term thrown about in argument before ad it hurts.
It hurts to be referred to or have people close to me referred to as fuck-ups when the mouth stating the term is the biggest fuck up of them all!!!!
Best not judge or be judged.

Written a few years ago when I was in the lengthy process of acknowledging that Mott was a negative, belittler due to his own insecurities and unhappiness. Found as I was cleaning my desk and thought I'd share.
