Regrettably
No point in dwelling on regret
For misadventures long ago
It may be better to forget
Live in the now, and take it slow
But I still remember all the times
That I cancelled common sense
Indulged in some blatant crimes
For which I now have scant defense
But I was, it seems, fully insane
Now I'm still not sure what may be real
And my soul carries a lasting stain
My own regret, or Satan's seal.

I don't at this point. I still feel some guilt but I have moved on. I sometimes question if I can ever completely forgive myself, and presently wonder about how I'm handling things now. I can only try to do the right thing, hope for the best. Thank you JusTim.

Thank you so much, Sky_dancer. I'm glad my rhyming doesn't seem forced. And I do try to be coherent and hope for the best. I'm delighted this one worked for you, along with some of my other efforts. And thank you for the inclusion in your RL!

Sometimes we can feel like a different person from day to day. We can only hope that the person of tomorrow will be better than that of today.

That's such a comfort, Brenda. Sometimes I think my soul is a goner, but maybe not. Thank you so much!
