The After Thought

Why do we always become aware of things when it’s too late
The unconscious mind screaming to closed ears just wait

And you know the saying hindsight is 20/20, well some are looking the wrong way 
Gasping for one last breath, when fate is instinctive, and we just opened the wrong gate

Stumbling down a dark road, getting drunk off your indecisive thought, and getting lost in a maybe
Going anywhere but up 
Sipping from the finest glass when all we need is a cup

Your no cannot see clearly and your yes comes about rarely
So, you always leave a p.s. explaining all your wishful maybes

In essence this is just a post script, explaining my life in a long p.s. 
because we all have regrets or things, we wished we would have said

We’re constantly writing little nothings in life
that mean everything in someone else’s head 

This is my afterthought

p.s. a heart beating but dead...

Poet Destroyer A June 12, 2016 at 10:50 PM Post Script,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you.
