Sometimes I'm sad for all the past I'll never see again. It's not so good, the present tense. It's better where I've been. The future is so dimly lit, it's hard to plan ahead. My hopes and dreams so in the air, it's possible they're dead. I know I have to persevere, no other choice to make. But if I really had my way, I'd argue back with fate. I'd ask a chance to try again, to do it right this time. To go back to the day I left, the past to re-align. But no, such things do not occur, I'm stuck with what I've done. No matter all the tears I cry, my future has begun. Can't take it back no matter how I wish with all my might. I'm on the road, though looking back, no answer is in sight. Perhaps some good will come of it, this retrospective haze. But nothing ever cures my need to live those better days. |

Oh wow, cat. What a sad one. You must try to look to the future. You can't undo the past, but you can learn from your mistakes. BTW, my mother has been going through a bad patch similar to yours (from what I can see), and she says that a certain book really helps. It's called: "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" by Deepak Chopra. It teaches you not to look back with remorse and to make the most of the moment. Lotharingia "For God's sake, he's a poet. Poets are meant to feel miserable. Otherwise, what the hell are they here for? What are they going to write about?" Tom Holland |
