Poem.

Sometimes we do things

that don’t quite make sense.

and we try to forget them,

but the memory’s too intense.

The key to regretting

is not about a wish

it’s the fact that you care enough

to keep falling, to languish.

Every day we do things

that we’ll someday recall

It seems so simple now

but you’ll hit a brick wall.

And you’ll wish and you’ll wish

that you weren’t reminded

but regret is permanent

until memories are blinded.

    regret can be very destructive if we allow ourselves to simmer in them too long, but also very effective in helping us make a better choice in the future. Indeed very hard to shake.
