Regret

 I find I regret less and less, especially when I've lost my own respect.
Everyone seems to avoid me; no one wants to be near.
I feel more and more lifeless, longing to thrive but trapped inside this deprived prison of my mind.
My thoughts are a puzzle all because I didn't forsee inserting this neurodiversity which beings me to my knees begging please, crying for mercy, questioning my voice has gone.
Where's my opinion? Where's my place in this neuro dilemma?
Just remember, I hear everything, I feel something.

 I regret staying in this town where I've been made to feel like a fool.
I have no rhyme or reason for why my heart keeps beating.
I see myself fading away, feeling less like a man, less like a human.
These neuro chains pull me down to the oceans depths.
