Constant thoughts of past regrets swirl through my mind,
as I lie upon my bed at night I can't say fate has been unkind.
I know I can't change what's been done or actions I did take,
and I realize I have but myself to blame for my current state.
Vivid memories of love once held yet pushed and threw away,
given up for fleeting pleasures which never lasted anyway.
I betrayed the trust given to me by those who truly cared,
never stopped to spare a single thought on how I acted so unfair.
I fought with those who helped me up when life kicked me to the floor,
instead of giving them my thanks I simply turned my back once more.
Time after time I tread the same path of manipulation and deceit,
using any means to accomplish goals which never meant a thing.
I burned my bridges, killed connects, turned from all who counted.
It seems I've lost all feeling, become emotionally detached,
my passions that once burned so bright now nothing more than ash.
Yet I realize that I'm still young and have a chance to grow,
repay my debts, renew the love, push beyond the life I've known.
I'll stoke the fire of my passions, whatever they may be,
open my eyes and finally see the world's infinite possibilities,
so that from this day forth, both my mind and soul, finally will be free. |
