Regret

personal poem about how I regret not taking so many opportunities

As I jump headfirst into my senior year

and into the world of college applications and car insurance and responsibilities

I realize what I've missed out on the past 3 years

and what a waste it's been

I should've joined the volleyball team for my love of the sport despite my fear of the ball

I should've retaken algebra i and not taken honors history the first year

I should've joined the newspaper and magazine like I'd planned, and even the gsa

I should've worked hard in all my classes and at least tried to get more than two A's

I should've put my work before my stupid procrastination

I should've joined drama club and choir and lived out my dreams

I should've stuck with creative writing class and maybe I wouldn't have been in such a slump

But most of all

I regret how long it's taken me to realize all of these things

And how I'm still wasting time

Feeling sorry for myself and wasting time in the past

When I should be putting this missed hard work into the present

I really like your poem! It reminds me of how I was during my senior year. I really like your repetition of "I should've" it was highly effective! (sorry, but I just thought of pokemon lol) But on a serious note, college is a fresh start and you can do some of those things in college if you have enough time for that in your schedule! I'm sorry for the lengthy review >~< But good luck for when you enter college!
