The man who has it all
Is unlimitedly blessed
When the very words he speaks
Puts gold medals on his chest
But this man who receives
And who is told through rhyme  
Can't choose then or now
Because The man who has it all
Is a little short on time

I put ink to page
with an elastic band pen,
Because these words always
come back and hit me,
Leaving a sting in my ear,
and a ring in my head

Regret is a doorless cage
That we put ourselves in.
And we stay and dwell within it
Despite our longing to leave.

Like a Phoenix regret rises from the
broken pieces of our past, burning all
in its wake

I stood there,
The guard rail pressed behind my back
The water was calm and beautiful
The waves they whispered  your name
The rest of my life below me,
A sharp 20 foot drop, it felt more like six,
Because that's where I wanted to be
