A Happy Ending

Remorse and regret, I mustn't forget Remind me that Life is a process of Learning Indeed for I sorrow'd; 'twas always upset As the Truth was met with painful discerning But now my eyes are open-wide, Grew to love what I once despised I am no longer sick inside- I just feel happy to be alive

We all should learn to accept and love ourselves for who we are. No matter what anyone else thinks. Our happiness is more important than the opinions of others! A great message in this poem! Well done!...The rhymes are great, except, "despised" and "alive" don't quite rhyme for me. Just my opinion! :)

Thanks, Kel. I'll pull a near rhyme if I can get away with it, but they don't always work. Thanks for the read and review :)

Regret makes us dwell in perpetual sorrow. Mistakes make us learn......and prosper! Great write Archaic.JM

I have some time on my hands these days so I will be stopping on your poems starting with this one. Your first stanza flowed magnificently but the second stanza switched away from the rhythm that you began with. Overall though I thought it was beautifully crafted.

I adore you, my friend. I told you in another reply that this is one of the many reasons I appreciate you so much: you offer me the constructive criticism that I crave- that I need and want and cherish! You are right on the mark, and I can clearly see your point. I am going to do some revising on this piece; I agree that it needs it. Thanks for the compliments and help :)
