Regret

Reality's a b***h

And BOOM!

just like that i remember

how much you adored me

And now i see clearly

cause hindsight is 20/20

Oh how stupid

I was young 

and didn't know it

I didn't know that

one day I'd moan it

tears streamin' down my face

and hearing daddy say

one day it'll all be over

but the cryin'

oh f**k, he wasn't lyin'

and now Eminem

is wrapping my life

as I sit and realize

just how much i've lost

so fucked up

gave up so much

g'damn what have i done

You captured regret so keenly here. This is a very human experience yet you have really vocalized it well here with your raw emotions and blunt writing. Well done

Yes, thanks for posting this. We can cry and moan in hindsight, but we do what we do when the time comes and then live with decisions afterwards and try to make the best of it...even with the "what ifs"---

Yes, I am trying to make the next days better than the past days. Thank you for your comment.

Part of growing up. We learn by our mistakes. That is how we grow. No point in beating ourselves up over it. All part of life’s rich tapestry. Your poem will be remarkable to many. Thanks for posting.

Thank you so much. I wish it wasn't so familiar. It just means there's a lot of regret in this world.
