A Look Back Poem by Noemi Lee

A Look Back

Rating: 3.3


I looked into my life
today.
I didn't like what I saw.

So many loose ends
unsaid thank yous
unreturned phone calls
unspoken feelings
missed opportunities

The only way to
fix it
is to create
new situations
new opportunities
new feelings.

I don't know if I'm prepared.
I don't know how to prepare.

And it frightens me
Because I don't want to
make the same mistakes
twice.

Noemi, well said. It's common to agonize over past mistakes and to feel paralyzed because of them. You've captured those feelings perfectly! Brian
