A Mountain of Regrets

A poem about life

A Mountain Of Regrets
 

Regrets for not being a better child, regrets for being so mean at times. I had the greatest Mother in the world . I was a hellion at times, always the one who just had to have the last word, no matter what I was always right and my Mom was always wrong. To me Mom was never ever right. Regrets of not listening to my Mom. Now I am a grown up, I have two children of my own, more and more I am beginning to understand. I am finding out now that I was not always right, that maybe I was wrong at times. Mom was right about many things. Regrets because I did not finish my education, instead I quit in the 9th grade because I thought I knew it all. Boy was I wrong! In this world of today without my education I am nothing. Regrets because I was in love with a man who I once thought was my world Now all of my trust in him has been shattered in to a million pieces of what used to be our love. Forever is what he promised. He chose to sleep with another woman. Regrets because I didn't believe that he would ever do this to me and our children. He has broken our hearts. Regrets because maybe I am to blame for many of my regrets and fears. Maybe it is because I regret ever meeting him. Many regretted mistakes I have made through the years only I can or could have changed them, if I had just opened my eyes and seen what was going on. Maybe if I had just listened to my mother my life would have been much better. Now I know that my mom was right. My mother was almost always right So now I stand here and behind me stands the mountain of regrets. I can only hope that I will have enough time to change the many mistakes that I have made in my life, to become a woman of no regrets, a woman who has learned from her mistakes. Then maybe there will be no mountain of regrets standing behind me but a mountain full of hope and dreams By MELISSIA ANN SENTER

a metaphorical gem, as your words impact the heart, pondering the meaning of such things in life that have the ability to chamnge either for the better or for the worse, i feel you dont need to regret anything,
and just take things as a learning experience, you are too hard on yourself, moving poetry my friend.
