Reflecting Back On Life

As I look back at life I realize that I was dumb For not taking advantage of things when I was young There is so much that I have forsaken When the world was mine just for the taking I should have been a doer instead of just a dreamer But yet I let everything slip right through my fingers Missed out on so much wealth but not the rejection All because I took life in a different direction Back then I was a free spirit and thought it was cool Not knowing I had so much in life too lose But look at me now middle age and depressed With a hand full of bills and a head full of stress If only I could go back 20 years or so I’d then take advantage of all that I know But I realize I’m just chasing another dream And life isn’t really as bad as it seems Because regardless how bad my life appears to be There is always someone out there worst off than me
