I aim to learn from my remorse…

Regret is something I cannot escape,
A scale where second thoughts weigh,
A pain straight to the heart,
Facilitated by memory’s dismay.

What can be done with this pang of conscience,
That which cannot be undone or taken back?
It cannot be ignored as it seeds itself deep,
A sewn entity for sentimet to reap.

I aim to learn from my remorse,
To be lenient to my choice,
To realize that for me there is a plan,
And be resilient to that voice.

For now, I will embrace my regrets,
As teachers of cause and effect,
Reminders of multiple choice,
And measures of prospect.

    Choice is the first thing to hit me? regret ah! fondest memories, are made of these. Life is a gift to each of us… what we do with it, where we spend it, is our gift if others can’t see it… that is their loss, but regret should be your fondest memories… not your hurt
