Please Don't Judge the Dark (Free-form Poems)

Regret is My Killer

There was a time in life

A time that happiness reigns.

We don't worry, cry, or even get mad.

These are the best times

Times when we are truly innocent.

But, the world doesn't care

It tears you down and pushes you aside.

Like garbage, dirt.

We mean nothing.

This is a lie told to us by the world.

We regret not staying happy,

not speaking our minds,

Not being there for friends.

We also regret not being able to save

 those that were taken away.

You're not worthless,

You are strong,

Regret is meaningless.

You don't have to stay Broken.

Speak up.

Be happy.

Be there when you are needed.

Don't blame yourself,

Because, Child, 

Regret is my killer,

And it will become yours as well.

*Don't, and I truly mean, Don't ever regret a choice in your life. You were made to be the way you are. There is nothing to regret, ever. Just believe in yourself, push yourself, and Make yourself Proud or you. Don't wait for someone else to be proud. That will never happen, and Sweetie, that is fine. Because you are the only voice that matters in your life.
