1. Memories, For, When I Am. (Being edited 2024)

Our Regrets

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 down

So 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.
