The Pains of Regrets

In the shadows of what could’ve been lies regret, They haunt every corner of your soul, making it impossible to forget. A weight that lingers and sometimes tears you apart, As they take a firm hold over your heart. In the quiet hours of the night, silently, they creep. These uninvited guests disturb and rob you of your sleep. Regrets, like needles, pierce deep into the soul. Leaving scars that never heal but continue to control. Of choices made or words unspoken, Oh, how we wish we could rewrite our past, To undo the mistakes made and gain peace at last. But time continues to march on, day by day, Leaving us with memories of things that went wrong, some of which we dare not say. And lessons learnt amidst the pain changed our vision. For in our regrets, there lies great wisdom, It’s through mistakes we learn and grow strong, Thus giving us the courage to admit and accept when we are wrong. Accepting regrets as part of our life’s story could set us free. They are reminders to tread carefully, enjoy life in the present while cherishing every glory and just be.
