Regrets

by Jay

By Jalen HunterPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I awake from my sleep most nights

With a lot of regrets

For all these paths in life that I turned away from

I never really handle things the way I should

I’m always thinking I’m doing things for my own good

Sometimes I’m right and sometimes I’m wrong

Most people don’t see me hobbling along

I put on a brave face and continue on

even when I just want to give up

These feelings I have won’t beat me up

Because what is meant to be for me will be again

I just have to grow comfortable in my own skin

Motivate myself and keep living day to day

Breaking down barriers and getting out of my own way

Even if I’m alone I have people looking out for me

It brings me comfort even though right now I’m not where I want to be

inspirational
