No Regrets
ππ₯ππ₯ππ₯ππ₯ππ₯ππ₯ππ₯π
Our Only Regrets Are Things We Never Tried
Don't Put Off Something That You Can Do Today
Were We Scared Of Failure? Were We Stopped By Pride?
ππ₯π
Are We Scared Others Our Efforts Will Deride?
If We Don't Go Forward, We'll Have No Hooray
Our Only Regrets Are Things We Never Tried
ππ₯π
With Each Word I Write Here I Have Never Lied
But I Regret In Believing There Was Fair Play
Were We Scared Of Failure? Were We Stopped By Pride?
ππ₯π
On Here Every Day, My Great Work I Have Plied
Always Try New Things. Do They Work? Who Can Say?
Our Only Regrets Are Things We Never Tried
ππ₯π
I Would Regret It If I Let My Work Slide
I Will Always Use Colours Rather Than Grey
Were We Scared Of Failure? Were We Stopped By Pride?
ππ₯π
Should I Regret This? Only I Can Decide
My Inspiration Always Showa Me The Way
Our Only Regrets Are Things We Never Tried
Were We Scared Of Failure? Were We Stopped By Pride?

Do You have a Support Network?
Life is harder when youβre on your own. Human beings are social creatures, and we usually feel better when we have support from a strong social network around us. For most people, itβs our families that hold us together like glue.

Nice
You should get TS for this one Mike. The only regret anyone should have is how you have written it in this poem. "Things we have never tried" Good job.
Well written, Mike. It was also brave of you to kind of call Vocal out in one of their own challenges. It brings a bit of humor to it while also showing them that they canβt stop us from expressing ourselves in any way we want. Nicely done.
Beautifully flowing and so powerful, thankyou for sharing xx
