No Regrets

No regrets they all say, 
but what does this mean, 
to live a full life,
and follow ones dream.

Mistakes are made along every path, 
to claim your immune helps me remember to laugh.

Not at expense or intended offense,
but a gift to myself called personal choice. 

I am what I am,
and my beliefs are unique, 
my outlook is growing, 
sorry yours is so bleak.

I will die in due time,
whatever I do,
with a refusal to follow an imaginary set of rules.

I do not wish to pass by the attractions presented,
what if’s never brought positive attention.

Like a cat I am curious, 
and aware of no spare lives, 
with the one that I have,
I wish to venture and strive.
