I hate regrets, but we all have them. I have realized regrets are there to show me to NOT get stuck and move on, but deal with them and do it differently. I don't want to live in them, because I feel you don't grow past them. Anyway...... here are just a few of mine. the last sunrise I would miss my one last passionate kiss a call I did not make when I chose not to make the break a time I could not chose a picture I would loose a heart that I would break a chance I would not take the time I lied to make it right when fear made me loose sight years I spent in fear nights filled with tears a true love I did not hold my heart that was left cold time I did not use the marks of your bruise people I forgot to thank the day our marriage sank dreams I would not chase hopes that I left abase the harsh word I said that letter I left unread As I sit and ponder what my life is about REGRETS want to scream and shout! Yet, I know tomorrow lends a new day What do you all have to say? On and on I could go with "MY" regrets, But all of "YOU" have many too I bet! |

Regrets Isis Version I regret the day I leave this world, I regret having only one child, I wanted more but things didn't hue, I occasionally regret being so meek and mild. I regret lost or broken loves, Happiness so easily discarded, I regret no finishing, Projects that I'd started. I regret the horrors on this Earth, The homeless, the starving, the disease, I regret the fact, That so often I'm not at ease. But I try to celebrate the good in my life, Each and every day, And chase away those regrets and bad feelings, To find a happier and more peaceful way.

Isis.....I kind of had an idea that this would happen to me while writing this. What do I mean? Well as I was writing, in my limited memory, I could only think of some of my regrets. Well you brought up others, and I immediately was taken to that thought. here were some I relate to, "I regret not finishing, Projects that I'd started." Man I hate that! "I regret the fact, That so often I'm not at ease." That one was so wonderful to me. Something you don't often realize or think about, but is so important to lead a peaceful and productive life daily. I am so blessed to have found this site and all of the wonderful people here ! That is one thing I DO NOT REGRET for sure! Thanks sweetie! |

Well I'm glad you liked and agreed with my offerings hon I think being busy (either physically or mentally or both) is an important part of being happy. Being bored and lonely etc. cannot lead to happiness... *hugs* Illusion Isis *I believe every time you put your words to paper, you change.

DkW's Version of regrets!  I regret not saying how I feel To make it easier for others to deal I regret not saying the "good-byes" Before it was time for them to die I regret not saying "I love you" Letting them know my feelings are true I regret all the tears I shed After the day I wed I regret building my "wall" Protecting myself from the "fall" I regret not taking the time To watch the stars in their prime I regret all the fights And all the anger in my sight I regret so many things and wonder why Take one day at a time and learn to fly. Ahhhhhhh this list could go on forever for me. But I would much rather look into the future!! Peace and smiles, DkW No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry |

Hm, great idea, lets see if I can turn these thoughts into a poem. I regret the loss of innocence with an uncaring boy, I regret not having the time left to feel a life of joy. I regret choosing the wrong man time and time again I regret losing some people I thought I'd still call friend. I regret not having the money to make my childs life better I regret the years I didn't write too influenced by others.. Well, theres a lot more, LOL Good job illusion..keep us thinking. Sandra |

Well I must say....I am humbled and quite reflective. As I have read the responses, they have triggered a ton of my own regrets that I have forgotten or buried. For instance: Dark_kisses_Within...... I regret not saying how I feel To make it easier for others to deal.. I regret building my "wall" Protecting myself from the "fall" I regret all the fights And all the anger in my sight DKW....Boy can I relate! Man, you said it so well. I was especially taken by the one concerning the "wall"....I have that concrete wall building everyday myself it seems. I hate it! Thank YOU for reminding me that it can turn into a regret. Even of it's own protective device! Oh, then the last regret concerning all of the fights and the anger in your sight....WHOA! That has been a horrible sight for me and my children to experience time and time again....."ANGER".... I hate it! "Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a furious man do not go, Lest you learn his ways and set a snare for your soul " quote......of all places the Bible! Prov 22:25 hmmmmmmmm!!! HUGS!! catalinamoon....... I regret the loss of innocence with an uncaring boy, I regret choosing the wrong man time and time again I regret losing some people I thought I'd still call friend. Incredible what you have put into words. I am simply amazed at the wonderful expression of heart here. I appreciate it so. I wonder how many girls....AND men have lost their innocence by wanting to purely just give love, in order to recieve love? And I wonder how many have chosen what they thought was their soulmate, to only find a distant person in bed with them? We are thinkers us poets! Thanks so much.....I enjoyed your response, as it made me think! Take care and try to get beyond those regrets! |

"A man is only old when his dreams turn to regrets"....and I don't plan on growing old, nor will I stop being a dreamer. But to borrow a verse from my poem entitled "Regrets"... I’m just here for the duration, Whatever that may be. If I have regrets at all, It’s that "I" was never a "we". Hardrock |

Regrets are not always a bad thing to ponder about though. They can help us learn from our recent mistakes and move on. Then there are others regrets like this........ < !signature-->I regret the promises I made to him that day Telling him I would love him During good and bad days I regret allowing him To hit me the way he did Shattering all my self-worth Shedding tears as I hid I regret the angry words Each day he told me I was his stepping stone If only then I would of seen I regret sitting back waiting.. For him to enter through the door His words were always degrading As he knocked me to the floor I regret trying to take my own life I didnt think there was a way out "No one would love me as he did" he said My own strength, I had so much doubt I regret so much As the time ticks away The memories just wont die They haunt me each day No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry [This message has been edited by Dark_kisses_Within (edited 12-06-2000).] |

I regret being a coward When my best friend depended on me To hold up her respect I regret not confronting conflict And by doing so, Loosing another part of the relationship Who with I didn't solve our problems I regret not listening to what I had to say And making myself miserable Believing in the ignorant lines everyone else was feeding me I don't regret writing this poem Because it's going to save me a lot of regrets Later on, because thinking about all the things I might regret later, I'll do them And they won't exist. Thanks for making me think, Illusion. Joy |

I regret not knowing my dad, I regret making my mother sometimes sad. I regret letting others see me cry, I regret an occasional lie. I regret that I rarely ever see things through, I regret sometimes not knowing what to do. I regret feeling I'm not good enough at all, I regret allowing my values to fall. I regret not telling a special guy just how I felt, I regret allowing him to cause my heart to melt. Good Challenge. Helped to open my eyes a little to my own shortcomings. Thanx. P.L.U.R. |

Regrets...I have so many that I could never write about them all. This made me stop and thing about some others too. But I prefer to put the regrets in the past and think about the future and what it may bring. Good writing. Angel |

Regrets are what makes the world go round... everyone has a regret and if they don't then they are one in a million. I have regrets like everyone else here, but I have come to realise that these regrets are what makes you the person you are. This is what I have come up with about my regrets... Life is but a mystery Life is but a game I can tell you my regrets Or I can tell you they're all the same. I live with regrets of love I live with regrets that I didn't do things I live a life of pain I live a life of gain I want my regrets to become experiences So that I never do them again! I don't know what life has in store for me... I am only 18 years old.. but I have lived a lot and learnt a lot and now it's all the same. I know that life still has a lot in store for me, but I have learnt from my experiences and hope to god I never make them again, but as they say... Love is blind and that's where my problems start!! I want to also say that everyone who has submitted something in here is right! But we all need to focus on teaching people that regrets are life and we all have them - we just have to learn how to learn from them if you can understand that!! Love Melz!! |

Pain... < !signature-->The tears I cry every day And the frustration, so hot Wrapping in a cacoon of madness It leads me back to pain... How I wish I had know then All the things I know now, How I wish I could have said Nothing, though my heart knows That speaking was the best thing But not the best for me... How I wish you had been honest In the very beginning, allowing me to know you then, really know the You that haunts me now, because I didn't know and so I made a choice... Wishing that maybe I wasn't ready To become a woman so soon, when what I really wanted to do was play a little longer, and how I wish, just wish that someday soon, you will see My pain, My anger, My frustration. I regret that I lost my strength, my individuality, and was fooled By your blindness. *regret is too fresh a wound for me right now, so I offer no explanations, just my input to the challenge and to say thank you for giving me the chance to voice this.* With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe [This message has been edited by dragonpoe (edited 12-11-2000).] |
