Missed Chances

There once was a chance I didn't take
the chance was to be with you
it seems like I missed out
on everything because I didn't believe...
in you,
myself,
whatever the reason
I'm stuck in a pool of missed chances,
a whirlpool of shattered hopes and dreams
all because I was scared of chances
and the chances I'd have to take with you

great work, these lines: I'm stuck in a pool of missed chances,
a whirlpool of shattered hopes and dreams.

i like the way you play with structure here. and of course, the sentiments within it are something with which we all struggle. well done.

I don't know if you intended for the word "chance" to appear as many times as it did; it seemed to me like this might be better if you replaced it with a synonym in a few places. Anyway, great poem! As they always say, hindsight is 20/20....

hmm.. better to have loved and lost than not have loved at all? Thanks for sharing your wisdom, certainly will make me think more on what I should or not pass on. Good job!

Amazing work, i love the treatment mood you sketched up...
And it is really hurting when we missed out our chances, which right besides us, yet we cannot cannot follow it...
