Regret

More life lived,
Than I have left,
More squandered,
Than accomplished,
My youth bereft,
The big break,
But I was blind,
They define me,
The Things I forsake,
All the opportunities,
What I could’ve done,
Promises made 
All thrown away,
Instead I had fun,
Now looking back,
I’m not alone I bet,
Over the paths chosen,
As least we’ve lived,
Long enough to regret

I can relate to this one. Often thinking of what could have been different (but would it).
