Regret

Half of my life is regret
A feeling of sorrow and bitterness
Where life is always a mess
An interminable tormenting guilt

Chances we're given but fades
To the point where nothing persists
Like a dewdrop on a leaf
Falling when air shivers it

Options we're limited
Hopes are barely detected
My life is at stakes
Mistakes we're at the doorstep

Fear is blocking me from going
I can't move an inch
My remorse is getting bigger
I wanted it to end

I have failed many times
Because I have a lack of judgment
It's difficult to chase happiness
For I feel uncontented

As I saw the outcome
It was so frustrating
I'm on the edge of subsiding
Is there a chance to win?

But I stopped at something
As I saw my children
Are they an effect of my false judgment,
Or a blessing beneath my hopeless dream?
