Regret Poem by TMA
Regret
Regret is a terrible thing.
The opportunity forsaken,
The friendship turned down,
The risk not taken…
I’d rather have the scars to show
I tried, and got burned
Than have my flawless, unblemished skin, yet know
My chance is gone, and won’t return…
Life isn’t worth the living
If we won’t risk getting hurt
Or are too afraid of losing face
Or afraid of broken hearts…
I won’t play it safe- I’ll take my chances
They’re for the taking anyway
’Cause sometimes the flock you have in hand
Isn’t worth the one you let get away…
