Regret, Rewind, and Repeat

The drinks I sip

To run away from reality

The drugs I hit

To stay in my fantasy

The cigarettes I lit

To chase away my glum

With nothing but a dim light

Fading away by the choices I made

In this cage called naivety of youth

I’m trapped

There is no way out

There is no turning back

Living the life of regret

For the paths I took

But it was a long road

Of which end couldn’t be seen

Far in the horizon

If I could rewind and

Start this voyage again

Before the bumps and bruises

Will I change the way

Or repeat this hopeless journey?


The author's comments:

For something about this piece, I know that many adults have made immature decisions as a kid. Even if they want to recover from their mistakes, there is no return. So I asked myself this question, "What if they could rewind and repeat?"
