Hands Of Time Poem by Roxy Gonro

In life, the hands of time don't move in reverse, we can't take back our regrets.
So we learn to live with them.
We can't take back our fights,
So we try to forget about them.
We can't take back our scars,
So we try to hide them.
We can't take back the hurt and pain,
So we try to move on.
We can't take back the words we said,
So we try to make up for it.
When we do these things, we're really lying to ourselves.
We don't want to face the truth of who we are.
So we try not too, but the truth always comes out,
Like the light from the sun, our real self shines through.
We can't be something we're not, no matter how hard we try, so we have to accept our life as it is,
And stop trying to change our past because it's apart of who we are now,
But we can change who we want to be for the future,
Where nothing it decided yet,
And we can live as the person we want to be,
And remember there's always hope ahead.
