Top Regret Revisited

If I were to list my top regret  
it would point at myself  
denouncing change that came too slow  
by the speed and not the flow  
while the seconds are cast away  
the layers ask to be displayed  

with quaint reference to comfort’s angst  
deference is given to the mewling tongue  
while determining identity  
some parts were clear to see  
hidden in the rapt desires  
always there to speak its mind  
 
that internal voice is locked away  
announcing volumes only one will hear  
while the world is ignorant  
of this flow that souls dictate  
cooperating with gender’s taunt  
the outward kept in still detente  
 
an arrangement that most approve  
as the past becomes a lie  
the shell seems to carry on  
as the core is left to die  
on the altar of frozen time  
these choices become sorrow's life.
