Live Life With No Regrets

Live Life With No Regrets

A Poem by Jul
"

When you are stuck in a rut, you need to make the decision to get yourself out of it.

"

          Live life with no regrets.

I have so many regrets.

There is so much I want to change.

          I am powerless.

          Whatever happens, happens.

I have made a decision.

          To live the rest of my life with no regrets.

I may do something crazy, bold, or daring.

          But if it leaves me with precious, warm, and happy memories…

          Then I will regret nothing.

I have made so many mistakes.

There is so much I wish to change.

I wish I wasn’t broken.

I wish I could feel.

I wish I could have done something.

          I cannot regret anymore.

          I need to step away in a new direction.

          I need to breathe in the moments.

I have missed so many chances.

I won’t anymore. I can’t anymore.

That would deprive me of the happiness I am in pursuit of.

That would shatter the peace of mind I have left.

          No more regrets, no more wishing to fix the past.

          What’s done, is done.

I cannot change what has happened.

          I can move forward.

I have been lost for so long.

          I can find my future, my path.

I will be crazy, bold, and daring.

I will make mistakes.

          But never without purpose or intent.

I don’t want to live the rest of my life regretting.

          So I will live with no regrets.

          I will follow my heart, my mind, my impulses, and my gut.

          No more caging myself.

          No more regrets.

          If it leaves me with warm, and happy memories.

          That’s all that matters.

I will let my broken self gain strength from this.

From not regretting what I do, and what I didn’t do.

          I will not regret laying in the arms of someone that is stronger than myself.

          I will take solace in that touch, I will gain strength.

I will not regret what I couldn’t do.

What I wouldn’t do.

          I will live my life to its fullest.

          There is much wasted time that I need to make up for.

          I need to have purpose.

The past may continue to haunt me.

The devil on my shoulder will always be whispering in my ear.

Anger will always burn through my veins.

Distrust will always cloud my judgement.

Fear will always creep along the edges of my consciousness.

          I will be free.

          I will do crazy things.

          Bold things.

          Daring things.

          I will not regret anything I do.

          Because I will do them with the intent.

          Because if I have memories to cherish, then it is worth it.

If I am hurt again by something I don’t regret…

          I will straighten my shoulders.

I will fold in on myself.

          I will keep my head high.

I will cry.

          I will be strong.

I will fall apart like glass

all

          over

                   again.

          I can be happy on my own.

I need someone to understand.

          I can focus on my future.

I need someone who knows me.

          I will be who I am.

I need to find who I am.

I need to find what I lost.

I need to find my heart.

I need to feel.

To care.

          I will live with no regrets.

          I will make mistakes.

          I will learn.

          I will be crazy.

          I will be bold.

          I will be daring.

          I will be free.

          I will regret

          N

                   O

                             T

                                      H

           I

                     N

                               G.

          I will not keep

          F

          A

          L

          L

          I

          N

          G

          I will pick myself up every time.

I have so many regrets.

          I will live my life and regret nothing.

          I do not have the luxury to regret.

I have already used a lifetimes worth.

          I will be who I’m going to be.

          I will pursue my life with patience, for I am well practiced.

I’m still hurting.

          Live life without regrets.

          It’s the best thing you can do for yourself.

That’s what I tell myself.

                   Live life with no regrets.

I have so many regrets.

There is so much I want to change.

          I am powerless.

          Whatever happens, happens.

I have made a decision.

          To live the rest of my life with no regrets
