Then and Now

If only I'd known then
what I know now.

And maybe I wouldn't be
alone in the morning,
with no one to turn to.

no one to help me through everything.
left to face my fears... alone...
why bother?

Author's Note

Can you help me come up with a title for this poem?

I agree with Shard, about using "Then". This is short, sweet and to the point. Shows much regret in very few words. I like it. Barbara

[Shards]

I like short little food for thought bursts like this
that mostly anybody could relate to
Think Then and now is a great title
because that's how it's structured in your piece
and it's kind of cool because usually people say "now and then"
only think I would change is the "And" in the second stanza
I'd change it to "Then"
but this is just my opinion

[Kelley]

I think you meant known in the first line ?
A little short. Tell me what its about?

I liked the title what Alex said. Or it could be, "If Only."
Well, I actually liked the simplicity of this poem as well. It's direct and to the point.

i love how although this is a short piece, it says so much, great work.. maybe you could call it "Then and Now"
