Paying The Price Later Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Erasing and starting over again, all mistakes we've ever
made are not reality, just a dream we have at times.

Slamming doors hitting our memories, words in anger,
meant to hurt the one you are angry with.

Not realizing that these memories will come and cause
you pain when older.

Tears in your eyes, falling in sadness, knowing now,
how much you have hurt the ones you loved and have
loved you unconditionally.

Such a price we all pay for mistakes made when younger,
paying the price later in life, when remembering it all
as seniors.
