Regrets... Poem by Trevor Schulte

I fall to the ground
with a feeling of regret,
filled with painful feelings,
of which, I want to forget.
The longing to remake the past
and rewind my mistake,
is buzzing over me,
as my heart continues to ache.
If only there were a way,
to relive that dreaded day,
enlivening a positive note,
leading burdens astray.
What could a man like me
who lives in his blunder,
do to make his life,
something of a wonder.
How can a man of despairs,
fix his many errors,
and have a plea for grace
in his final prayers.
But must that be the end,
to live in fault,
or can I repent,
and be of savored salt?
Can I three-sixty my life,
towards a higher destination;
pushing my lasting strengths,
for the better of creation?
Could all the positivity
that I hold within,
abolish that clinging
and lasting sin?
Is a life of service
where others form my sight,
a sacrifice in which
my heart is no longer contrite?
The truth is,
that we can never be too sure,
but it is better to try
and live a life that is pure.
So take the step,
go the mile,
transform your existence
into something worthwhile.
For a burdened regret,
on your life crusade;
may be nothing,
but passing shade.
