I was feeling a little put off today after supper, and threw this shebang together. Right now, I'm going to push this wretched feeling aside and get back to my novels, they've been missing my attention. By the by, a little warning: I'm no good at poetry, so this might be utter nonsense...just saying.

Not Granted!
Sometimes I wish I could start anew:
That I could push back the hands of time,
And erase the life I’ve lived.
That I could rewrite my lines,
My negligence, and my reactions,
To the obstacles and events thrown my way.
That I could have created myself a stronger spine!
Sometimes I wonder who the author of this sad story is,
And why he hath decided to make it one of misery.
Could he not have had the heart to let things shine?
But, if it is I, then I have none to blame but myself.
For it is I that has chosen these darkened paths,
And made these dim-witted mistakes.
But why could I not have built indestructible walls?
Or to have not hesitated or swayed,
When confronted with unbearable hindrances?
To have chosen wiser!
If it were not for that, I would not be kneeling here,
Begging to rewrite the past:
Pleading for a different outcome,
And praying for a better future…
If it were not for that, I would not be grovelling here,
Wishing to start anew…
