Regret

Regret

 

I truly regret

Living in regret

Clouded

By what could’ve been

Not truly living,

Yet

Over-thinking

Every step

Teetering tightrope

Drenched in sweat

Should’ve double checked

That darn safety net

Never should’ve tried

Time to double back

Would’ve won the gold

Could’ve claimed the prize

Should’ve shutout the voices

Cheering for my demise

Can I change the outcome?

Or is my fate set?

Forever stuck in limbo

Drowning in regret

It's even worse when you hallucinate you are hearing voices in your head.
Please tell me at least it's not that. Oh - and the biggest regret of all I believe - is remembering the happy times that can never be again. THAT - to me - is regret ... :/

Nicely written poem, Serenus, certainly bittersweet.
