Matt Forshay

I AM 

I am an intelligent, strong willed man    
I wonder where I truly belong
I hear everyone criticizing from behind
I see all the goals of my life
I want to reach them through hard work
I am an intelligent, strong willed man

I pretend that I can change the past
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
I touch my memories to inspire
I worry that they may repeat
I cry still thinking of the mistakes that were made
I am an Intelligent, strong willed man

I understand that I cannot change the past
I say that there are no regrets
I dream that I will be the best
I try my hardest to accomplish all that I said
I hope that I can learn from the past
I am an intelligent strong willed man

It's true we can't change the past but what I have learned is that the best lessons that we learn are from the things that we regret. That's why we can't spend much time wishing to change the past but what we will do to change the future.
