I Let It Slip Away

I let it slip away, I'll mend my ways Stop existing in a haze Won't waste even one more day I'll mend my ways, I let it slip away My thoughts unravel into tangled thread To places where I fear to tread Stay on track, from here I'll travel Into tangled thread my thoughts unravel Leave past behind, focus on now Self criticism no longer will allow The inner and outer self aligned Focus on now, leave past behind See who I should be through renewed eyes Shed this painful, cloaked disguise To move forward, change is key Through renewed eyes, see who I should be Start I must if I wish to change Thought patterns I'll rearrange It's now all out and all discussed If I wish to change, start I must I LET IT SLIP AWAY Poetry Contest 26th April 2023 Sponsored by: John lawless Rhyme zone checked

Nicely done DD, the "swap" was done so seamlessly that I had to check to make sure of them. Nicely done and thanks for entering the contest

Aww thank you! I suppose if I will write the same poem 100 times in different ways I might start perfecting it eventually haha. I'm overdue a change of tune :) thank you for your kind words. This is definitely my new favourite form - it's just beautiful!
