If Only .....

If only I could of seen where I have been
If only I was the light before I saw such darkness
If only I was the one with the crystal ball 
The world is full of If onlys 

To of never made mistakes but thats all too late
Fate gave me roads I choose such paths
Some were even full of laughs
And some were almost an evil craft

Smiles have to be shared as truths were declared
Jurys within judge our sins
People in glass houses dont throw stones
Or do they never share there If onlys 

I can not pity what was never seen, before we adored
We are the enemys within as  shadows knock at the door
We see the battles that can't be won we always want that one 
The crime of the insightful one is always to be undone

the only way that we can learn is through experience. sometimes we have to take the good with the bad in order to grow. we can't be affraid to fail or lose, because if we are then we will miss out on the journey of life itself. great write my lady.
