Regrets

It's a complex emotion...

Maturing with our experiences, 

from simpler needs to difficult decisions, 

we provide space, for its development. 

Regrets... 

That arises, when we reflect,

on outcomes, from our choices,

that strays, led us astray, 

from our goals & destination. 

Some were inherited, from our birth,

others being forced, without options,

but most of us, change gradually, 

building new layers, over the conditions. 

So, we feel sad, have disappointments,

wishing to reverse, rectify the mistakes,

while the guilt, corrupting our thoughts, 

weakening the will, to face this world. 

Regrets... 

It's in basic human nature,

as we ponder, deliberate reasons,

being passionate, attached to the cause,

we become focused, on bettering options. 

Yet, it's a matter of perception, 

happiness lies in reconciliation,

when we acknowledge this feeling,

while practicing self-compassion. 

For, it's an opportunity to learn,

influences our future decisions,

still, we should live in the present,

letting go, of these ruminations... 

P.S.

If it envelops, with negative aura,

we should seek light, invoking hope...

Deep within, or from outside!
