Regret River
When I think of regret, its like a very cold river
At first I was ankle deep, now neck-in my body shiver
How fast I'm being pulled by the current adds to my torment
Pity, Revulsion, Anger came to surface after years of being dormant
In order to survive
Myself I must revive
My soul I can no longer disguise
Nor hide
The River of Regret is now in high tide
A rock of guilt just crashed into my side
It is a deadly sin to feel pride
So I counter it by feeling arrogance inside
Tired of running from pain, I slow my pace and my stride
The end of the race, I come face to face with myself
My heart will never be advertised on a shelf
But I've yet to cleanse my soul of regret
Not just one, no, more like a set
I regret ever lying
Embracing the idea of dying
To every girl I ever cheated
Ever boy I ever beated
My thievery
Being tricky
Being sneaky
Alone all weepy
Oh my God, creepy
Who ever thought being in a river carried away made me so sleepy
By stealth
The devil attempts to take my health
Bad imsomnia, with asthma, bad cardiac
Signs of a heart attack
I want my sanity back
My backbone is gone, feel like a rat
What kind of stuff is that
I also regret hating being black
I regret hating everything:my mother
My brother
All 3 of us hated each other
My father
Why bother
He did his job
So I don't regret sticking to him like corn to a cob
Like glue to paper
My poems are the best way I make good use of paper
Whether I weigh a thousand pounds or stand 10 feet tall
Regret River rushes me to a waterfall
Now I roll like a bowling ball
One thing I don't regret, however, is trying to be the best I can be
They'll never know my worth until I R.I.P.......
