Regrets

Lately I've been losing sleep do to the things I regret springing into my mind. So, I decided to let out my feelings. (I decided not to use much punctuation because it's not always needed in poetry.)

I am human

 I feel shame

 I feel sorrow

 After all these days that came

 I still yearn for tomorrow

 I can feel love

 But better yet

 Like a hard, firm shove

 I can feel regret.

 They hang in the air like the sound of church bells

 They taunt me and haunt me like the fiery pits of Hell

 And though each day I get bolder and bolder

 They lay down heavily on the back of my shoulders.

 Happiness comes and goes

 For how long?

 Who knows?

 Sometimes the burden is lifted

 Sometimes it falls like a brick

 No matter my emotions

 The layer of regret is thick.

 They slither around me like a striking snake

 They always give, they never take

 And though each day I get bolder and bolder

 They lay down heavily on the back of my shoulders.

 But the Sun still shies

 And the birds still sing

 I struggle through the vines

 I hear church bells ring.

 The light of the moon over the flowers so red

 The blanket's soft embrace as I curl up in bed

 And though each day I get bolder and bolder

 The weight of regrets will always lay on my shoulders.
