[I remember somebody once asked me if I ever thought about regret... the answers no. Because when this masquerade is finally over I want to be remembered for who I am. Not who I was or who I wanted to be, cuz this right here, this is me, so follow this]
Even though I've never called it perfect
When I die, I want to know it all was worth it
I want to know that I tried my best with
Embracing every moment that I was blessed with
Every life, every death, every time that I wept
Every moment, every person, every line that I said
Every night, every day, every time every place
Every kiss, every wish, every side of the maze
Every cut, every bruise, every love that I'd lose
Every time that I broke and the times that I grew
Every drop of rain that these clouds would spew
To help form the man that I amounted to
And I'm thankful, that I am who I am
And I've been where I've been and I came out grateful
When it's finally time to make an exit
Just know, that I don't regret a single second
I love this verse
ReplyDeleteIts comforting to know I'm not the only crazy person without regrets. Maybe being grateful for my mistakes and failures is insane, but I've learned more from loosing than I ever have from winning. It shows I at least made an effort.
ReplyDeleteThe people who live trying to avoid mistakes are the same people who die wishing they made more.
This just gave me goosebumps.. Beautiful writing coming from within a beautiful mind.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your words.. And love your heart too. :)
Great expression, Don.
