What To Do

I've seen, the horror,
and I've seen, the pain.
I've been, the instigator,
and I've been, the insane.

I realize, my realm,
and I realize, what I have, then done.
I know, now there was no need,
and I know,to truly, not hurt anyone.

I felt, toward me, the return,
and I felt, how bad one, can feel.
I experience the opposite reaction,
and I experience, a pain, so real. 

I try, to improve,
and I try, each day, to live wise.
I still, at times, don't know,
and I still, at times, become a surprise.
