Battling Remorse
September 23, 2017
Look back in hindsight
So much I wish I could change
Undo past mistakes
Go back in time to
Right the wrongs; repair damage
Regret overwhelms
Yet the past is gone
Time slipped away; my own fault
Attempts to amend
Have thus far not worked
Depth of wounds defies reason
No escape from hell
Is there life beyond
This prison in which I lie
Or am I doomed here
Hope feels out of reach
And I keep defying odds
I fight regardless
Giving up might be
Easier, but not my style
To take the smooth path
Challenges, hardship
In my blood; tenacity
Persistence in me
