REGRET AND DISRUPTION

Regret and disruption

Boy, where do I start
See, each word plays a big part
In what is my life

I love poetry
It gave me a way to vent and express
Took away so much of my stress
I can finally sleep

Regret, I didn't make that decision
Regret, I didn't ask out the girl
That occupies my vision

Disruption, bouncing between houses
A nomadic lifestyle is all I know
A lifestyle of erratic routine
It's hard for me to grow

Regret, I didn't stand up for what is right
See I remember when I was 5
Sitting with my dad and the woman
He called his wife
He'd preach,
Son, if you want to be successful at life
You need to cherish love
Now I stand here 18 and confused
His idea of love
Left us bloody and bruised
And my idea of love
Leaves others abused

Like a black hole I draw in happiness
Against all physics I spit out sadness
Maybe it's just madness

Maybe not
