The doors open behind me

Life is often seen in a rear-view mirror.

You would think this is because of my choices.

I admit it.

  Maybe a few,

    but growing less.

I also have to be honest.

  I did not create the situation,

    but I walked in with eyes wide open.

I see what could have been,

 but I also see what might be.

Doors keep opening.

"I also have to be honest.

but I walked in with eyes wide open."

Jesus, if that's not the truth, especially when I was younger.

You nailed the concept of the "might-have-beens" seen in the rear view mirror. Well penned, Jon Roggie.

I hope I balanced it with a view towards what might be. We make mistakes, and hopefully learn. Gives us a chance to make some new ones!

It is always wise to admit your mistakes. I really liked this poem,the last line says it all.

You have to try, and maintain a sense of hope.
