What if you could go back in time
to a certain moment in your past
hoping to alter your life’s grand design
and maybe change your future’s forecast?
Would you go back to the day your family fell apart,
or when your favorite childhood dog ran away,
or when your first love left and broke your heart,
or when you finally gave up and chose not to stay?
Ever wonder how different your life would be
if a few of those chapters could be rewritten?
Or if you accepted a few branches off the olive tree
instead of letting your *** of grudges thicken?
People say not to focus on what happened back then
or that the idea of “Everything happens for a reason” is true
but if I had the slightest chance to visit my past again,
I'd do everything in my power to erase you.

_To rhyme or not to rhyme_—
that's a question for the next line.
In a figure of speech, a poem is a direct
comparison to how I really feel, think—
it's a metaphor to my pen’s speech.
__Listen:__
I dance with my words, make missteps
through misspellings; I never planned
to rhyme, yet rhythm finds its way
underneath my feet.
My pen — _the poetic device._
