Sometimes I sit and wait
For it all to pass me by
They lie in wait, in darkness
They hide and rise up
In due time, these memories I
Suppress in the far reaches
Of my mind, these memories
I'd rather let die.I regret my selfishness,
I regret that at times I'm childish,
I regret my inability to retain my memory
as it slips from recognition,
I regret the things I've blatantly blurted out
when I was young,
I regret the grades I receive because I know
I'm brighter than a star,
I regret my inability to learn to swim....
even if I did i still fear I'd drown,I regret not standing up for myself
when need be, as I'd have it I'd
rather let my weapon fight for me,
I regret the creatures I've harmed
for as of late it tolls my heart and moral standards,
I regret those who i have wronged out of my
own spite and jealousy,
I regret my psychotic thoughts and tendencies
that I would never like to see
committed by these hands,
I regret going to my fantasy imaginary world
instead of solving my problems with immense courage,
I regret the harm I've done,
I regret being mocked at because
of my fashion and jewelry,
I regret my hatred towards others,
I regret going back on my word when there
is a task I decide not to complete,
a task I could complete now,
I regret always giving up,
I regret always giving in,
I regret all of these things and more,
Because Of The Things That I Regret
I'm sure they slow me downSo I get up and swing first when life
Knocks me down
Because Of The Things That I Regret
There is a lot I would rather not
take back
Of The Things That I Regret these are
things I wish I will never lack:
I don't regret the ones I've helped,
I don't regret the friends I've made,
I don't regret being ignorant in those
childish days,
I don't regret the hearts I've touched,
I don't regret who i make myself to be,
I don't regret the graces I've been given,
I don't regret the gifts I've given,
I don't regret spending time with those
I cherish,
I don't regret staring off into nothingness
instead of keeping track of time,
I don't regret being afraid of carrying out a motion
that would most likely fail,
I don't regret crying in most situations
as I see men have this right too,
I don't regret sounding like a girl,
I don't regret acting like one at most times either,
I don't regret embracing the woman in me,
I don't regret wearing bracelets and jewelry
suited for the opposite sex,
I don't regret being open minded,
I don't regret thinking outside of the box,
I don't regret meaning what I say because i'm
no longer afraid of what people think, let them
mock me in their ignorance,
I don't regret the music I like because it
inspires me,
Because as of now I am the
Person I seek out to be
The person without a doubt I used
To try to be
And with this
As of now and late
I Regret Nothing for I am what I speak
So judge if you must,might and will
I'll
Open
My
Heart
To
Your
Hate
Because
I
Want
To
Learn to
Love all of those that make me rue the day
that I said "I Regret"
Because in truth,
I don't regret never existing
because my existence leaves an impression
on the hearts of all of those that I meet.
