19 drifting with the currents, feeling with the wind
And here I am, I sit, I stand, inhale and breathe and live and wish to change, but it is still there. Whether I ponder over it or not, whether I wish it gone or to disappear, it is still there. 'No regrets', I said - How true is that? I wonder. One more day, I think it through... Is it even worth a thought, I wonder. No matter what I do, it still remains. No matter how I wish to change, I stand, I sit, inhale once more. It is through breath and life that I choose to be, not letting it dictate, but still carrying its weight. Regret - one may call it - yet, in retrospect, it is just, Me.

In retrospect
The inner turmoil keeps on nagging, keeps on fidgeting, keeps on finding rhyme and reason when there is no poem. It slithers under the skin, sickly sweet with torture. I say: Another misplaced worry. You say: That's okay. Dissolving my tears in your vast ocean. 'Misaligned', I state, 'Perfectly', you retaliate. Poetry and misery, forming our never-ending Melody.

green tainted
It bloomed so high and bright that there was no rival Until it realised, regardless of sunshine, winter is not the right season for roses...
