Regret Poem by Vishorag Shadja

Regret

Rating: 4.7


The cycle of events,
Ones which I cannot vent;
Have haunted my thoughts
Like a noose of ascots.

Undaunted I try to Escape
And to whip into shape
The life that has transpired
And the plans that backfired

Nonetheless I will push forth
As fast as the slowest sloth,
Also, try to overcome-
And become wholesome..

Uphill task this is I know,
But to this world I should show,
The past that haunts me-
Might be snuffed with reverie.

but, daydreaming isnt enough
We have to live through stuff.
Wishful thinking gets me nowhere,
Except making life threadbare...

Wake up, get up, be strong..! !
Expell whatever that is wrong,
Sing that long overdue song-
Of victory and virtue before long.

See the life change before you,
And if what I hope is true,
The past will not matter at all,
And at the center you'll stand tall.

excellent stanzas - but, daydreaming isnt enough We have to live through stuff. Wishful thinking gets me nowhere, Except making life threadbare... Wake up, get up, be strong..! ! Expell whatever that is wrong, Sing that long overdue song- Of victory and virtue before long. nicely penned

Yes, as you have rightly pointed out, it is the present that can make a good future and so it is important that we wake up and expel whatever is wrong.
