Looking At My Life Poem by Kathryn Miller

Looking back at my life,
I think I just might go insane,
I think about how many times I have had the choice to make the right decisions and haven’t,
How many times I have said something when I could have kept quiet,
How many times I could have made someone’s day instead of looked away,

Looking back at my life,
I think about how many times I’ve said something that has made someone’s confidence boost,
I look back at how many times I have felt nothing but the need to have my way,
I think back on how many times I have given the chance to change a life in a positive way and didn’t,
How many times I have had the chance to tell someone that it’s ok and haven’t,

Looking back at my life,
I see pain,
I see little happiness,
Some jealousy,
But what I see most is regretful ness,

Looking back at my life,
I don’t like what I see,
So I try to make my past wrongs right,
But once it’s done it’s done,
So I have evolved into someone I had always dreamt of being but I just needed a little acknowledgement of my past mistakes and how I could change them if it came up again,
And I have.
