Life - I'd Like To Go Back Poem by Paul Warren

I'd like to go back and do it all again
To see the people I loved and my friends
There would be no mistakes this time
And I would know which path to take just fine

I would see those sunrises as they should be
And know what it's like in the quest to be me
There would be no wrestling on how it would work
And I would certainly not repeat when I was a jerk

I know now that sometimes it's best to keep quiet
Even when I am eager and I'm internally fired
So in the end to merely sit back in the fact
Would mean less criticism in life's eternal tract.
