A Moment of Growth

I was left to consider everything on a daily basis
Thankfully regret is slipping further into the past
And my mind, now free travels a thousand places

Grandiose the shadow that you once did cast
I remember when I felt that I’d never forget 
Thankfully regret is slipping further into the past

Moving forward the constant goal I have set
I found a place that now holds my attention
I remember when I felt that I’d never forget

None of this is said in anger not my intention
I no longer hold those feelings of ill discontent
I found a place that now holds my attention

Discovering my true self is how my time is spent
Learning how to care about another soul as well
I no longer hold those feelings of ill discontent

Each day on the past I allowed myself to dwell
I was left to consider everything on a daily basis
Learning how to care about another soul as well
And my mind, now free travels a thousand places

Thank you for reading and your comments as always. The meaning here, is that my mind was once fixed, stuck, and couldn't move, but now it has been set free, and wanders a thousand other places, or more, just not where it was once stuck.

Perfect, get rid of the accidental backsplash after "well" and you will have a poem to be proud of. Great Job Wayland, you are a natural.

Thanks for the read. I get confused with this form because of the Villanelle and have to constantly keep looking to make sure I'm doing it right. Thanks again for the read and the comment.
