Reflect

I reflect
On my life years ago
And things that never were.

I wonder
What I would do different
And where I’d be now.

I think
About all that I missed out on
And if my choices were right.

I search
For who I am
And who I want to be.

I hope
I can finally make peace
And quit looking in the past.

I know
I can’t change it now
And don’t think that I would.

I look
At what all lies ahead
And strive toward my goals.

I realize
Things aren’t all that bad
And I have more to give.
