PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Everyone says

Don't look back

It will only make it worse

But at this hour of night

Staring at my reflection

In this glass of vodka

I can't help but look back

And think of all the mistakes

I suppose it started

With waiting all that time

I knew I should've done it years ago

Fear and self-doubt be damned

And then when I finally did it

I over analyzed

And over thought everything

I tried too hard

Or not hard enough

I thought I had to be

Someone I wasn't

And forgot to be

Who I am

At the times I should have said something

I said nothing

And the times I should have said nothing

I said far too much

I took too much for granted

And missed all the signs

I know all these regrets

Probably don't mean much

Because my chance has come and gone

But maybe, just maybe

My time will come again

And I'll have learned something

From all of this

And I'll get it right the second time.
