in my past

be real, we all have regrets... except liars and lifelong recluses

Now I’m

Fine

Since I’ve

Come resigned

The past ain’t coming back

But I know that I’m just fine

 

And I’m

Fine

Since I’ve

Come to find

Those shadow-stains

Ever-etched in my mind

 

Naïve in disbelief, like hindsight is a crime

It’s my story

Leaving all their grief deep inside their minds

To sing their sermon

 

‘No regrets’

Fools profess

I’ve made mistakes

And I’m sure I’ll make more yet

 

Yes, I’ve made mistakes

And I’m sure I’ll make more yet

please know this is a circular judgment--my reaction to people that impose their life perspectives on others. Also know that this is a COMMUNITY writing website. This was not is a direct castigation of you or anyone for that matter, but I really don't owe you that explanation.

i agree and i am certainly no different. i have made huge mistakes and i will make them again. but i cannot reveal myself by being disbelieved about motive. i cannot join the whole by asserted something i KNOW is wrong about myself or the universe in general.

i never wanted to be a recluse, but i am sick to death, a very literal death, by anyone, of being called a liar without being given the opprtunity to have a real conversation with those who assert my so-called "false". state of being. of being myself. you see, mycurrent alienated life was inflicted and not chosen by myself. and i believe that is wrong. both "ethically" and actually. those who are not direct in their evaluation of myself should, as they say "put up or shut up" already! and i be;ieve that you, yourself, are one of these people.

lying has happened, but lying is not my truth.

i also believe you are wrong in your assessment of the past.

thanks. it's a song not a poem, i don't write poetry.... that might explain it.
