Regret? Or no regret?
A powerful emotion-
It is the sourness that fills your mouth,
The silence that chokes you, leaves you gasping for breath,
That empty feeling of fullness
Wanting to start, never wanting to end
Or if ended never wanting to understand.
All the time that flew away
Are the withered leaves that we let fall
But we haven’t yet lost the tomorrows
And it is never too late to start.
We haven’t lost these moments that we take
To pause in our tracks
To look at our own broken reflections
Screaming inside;
Smiles etched on our masks.
The only light I see
At the end of this never-ending spiral
Is a little thread of thought –
Your yesterdays do not define your next days;
Your crumbled wings do not define your strength
You don’t need the ghosts of your past
To find yourself.
