- Chances - I wasted them
- Moments - I lost them
- Regrets - I have them
- Secrets - I've kept them
- Talents - I denied them

Of all the things that I have done
I was the hardest thing to overcome
But now I have, and I can see
I am everything I'm meant to be

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

Mic drop! This was so freaking powerful!
I'm guessing that you (or any of us, for that matter), could take each line of the first part of this poem & expand it into another poem made up of exceptions & another of examples.
I think we all deserve second chances for we all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them.
absolutely love it
