If I could take back Everything I have written Would I? I have thrown away so many papers That I thought weren't good enough Now looking back I wish I could have them back Just to see what state of my mentality was Cause I know I wasn't sure of things Just as I am now But what words I used as a teenager Was I negative Like I pretty much am now Or was I cheery I doubt that Just because of my history But it would be nice to see how The poems were constructed Where I was going with everything Maybe my words would be different now
