What if you regret a lot?

You regret to being depressed

But of course like everyone

You say, 

What's done cannot be undone!

Even you know that's an excuse

An excuse to calm yourself!

Some regret even the smallest thing

Some don't care about anything

But some regrets can change anyone

They are deep seated in their heart

Their blunder, their fear.

I belong to the regretful category

People like me overthink, overdo

How can someone like us

Survive a major blow?

Can such regrets exist?

Can we regret being in relationship?

Can we regret friendship?

Can we regret destroying ourselves?

Can we? Of course we can.

These hurt the most.

You question me why?

They are mingled with feelings

Regretting a feeling hurts

Why did I make fake friends?

Was I dumb to be with him?

How can someone destroy themselves?

Why can't I say NO?

This is my biggest regret.

I regret not being able to change

Not being able to learn from my mistakes

Not being able to say NO

Maybe I'd hurt his feelings

To protect mine.

I regret being selfless at times

When I should be selfish.

I forgot my feelings are not just mine

They include my parents' too

People say it's okay to be selfish

I realised that now

But the regret of not saying NO,

Will always be in my heart

To remind me my mistake.

But can I learn to say NO,

Just because I made a mistake?

One thing is for sure,

Regret can change you

Improve you, guide you

Scare you, depress you

Depending on your attitude.

I'm a being with feelings.

Can I keep being positive?

Can I not be depressed over my loss?

But trying won't hurt, will it?

Maybe I'll continue on with life

The future might hold some answers.
