Missed Chances

There once was a chance I didn't take
the chance was to be with you
it seems like I missed out
on everything because I didn't believe...
in you,
myself,
whatever the reason
I'm stuck in a pool of missed chances,
a whirlpool of shattered hopes and dreams
all because I was scared of chances
and the chances I'd have to take with you

Missed chances are sometimes regretful and sometimes mourned. But, some just need to be wished on

It's hard to have faith and follow your heart sometimes in fear of being heart broken. Nice poem!

To fix this mistake you need to take a chance with something else... Break the cycle of missed opportunities and everything should fall back into the place it belongs. Wonderful write, I enjoyed this very much!

Nicely written. Love the form of the poem and the message of your words come through loud and clear.

This was a very good poem. You are right, there are a lot of missed chances that we don't take for whatever reason and we live to regret it. Very well done! Thank you for writing.
