The Regrets

 

On advancing highways as you get ever older

You’re glancing sideways- as over your shoulder

They niggle away - as they follow behind

To try and take over the thoughts in your mind

They’re nagging away inside of your head

‘If only- if only- you’d done that instead!’

Lurking in shadows they try to remind

So you rue your actions and words so unkind

You begin to lament when you’ve not told the truth

You want to repent your own misspent youth

They haggle your penance as behind your own back

These unwanted tenants unite to attack

They’ll hunt you down- like the bully at school

Turn your smile to a frown as they call you a fool

Some people may say they’ve had only a few

But most have more than they intended to.

So for my own peace of mind I thought my best bet

Was to live out my life without The Regrets

i found it very cool, and wise not to live with regrets~ nice flow of words, plus some catchy wordplay; enjoyed :)
