Every day

A million choices

A million chances to change this measly life

Yet what do I do

Do I pursue them with all I am

Or do I sit idly and watch them float by

Possibly never to return again

Why don’t I chase my dreams and take these chances

Why don’t I risk it all for love or faith

Why don’t I get out of bed

What is it that fetters my weary soul to inaction

I say no regrets

Like somehow it will erase the pain of mistakes

That if I don’t regret them they won’t still haunt me

Yet I do regret

I don’t regret the mistakes I made trying

No, because in the end, we only regret the chances we don’t take
