There are some things you wonder about,
The should I's and the could I's,
Always wondering,
Never knowing,
Always wondered about what I should do,
But now here I sit,
On this cold barren floor,
Lost in the turmoil of my brain,
Lost in the memories,
Lost,
So lost,
But now found,
I can stand,
If only I could change that day so long ago,
Change my choices,
Just change it all,
But I can't and won't,
I will move forward,
And take that first tiny step

I really like how intense your feelings are in this poem. Your word choice was also perfect! I feel like, if anything, you should aim to have a smoother transition from lost to found. Don't get me wrong, I love it how it is, and honestly I'm not sure if it could even be better if you changed it, but I think it's something worth trying. Good job. I like it a lot.
