Hi Mellanie, like this one; I did something on a similar theme (but more long winded) in the Poetry Group about a month ago. :)
In reply to - Mellanie N. Covell posted an update This is the part where you come to realize, That maybe you made a few mistakes in life. But you wouldn’t change the past, not a single bit, Cause without it you wouldn’t know how to fix shit. Each choice you made shaped the future, Each obstacle thrown at you may have seemed like torture. But in the end it all made you who you are, You walked the path, long and far. What I thought once was a tragety, Could be a blessing in disguise for me. But somewhere the picture begins to blur, The lines all fade and images aren’t sure. • View -

I’m with you on this one, for sure!!!
In reply to - Mellanie N. Covell commented on the post, desk Writing things at my desk seems to make me calm, get out all of my thoughts, and help me express my feelings in ways I couldn’t form verbally. • View -

Poetry 1 year, 1 month agoDAYBREAK ONE – CITY
The light of day
Gently
Pressing the night
Back into its box
Growing warmth
Dissolving the fragile
Mist of the morning
Away
Colours
Lightening
Defining the shapes
Of nature
And man
My world
Beginning to breathe
Taking its first soft breath
Of morning air
The artificial light
Of man
Shamefacedly retreating
As the greater daylight
Throws down its challenge
But our sight
Still assailed
By the garish signs
Of commerce -

Poetry 1 year, 3 months agoThe life I have has just three parts
Making up the whole of me
Only two are deeply intertwined
The third is yet to beThe window – that is all my past
I can still look back and see
But not go back even one small step
And change what once was meThe room – that’s where I am now
It’s all I do and say
It’s where I have a chance to learn
Grow better by the dayThe door – now there’s what’s yet to come
It’s all that’s yet to be
It’s all good things that I’ve not yet done
And things I’ve yet to seeI’m slowly learning lessons now
Like starting out again
And trying hard to grow myself
From what I’d come to beMistakes I’ve made along the way
And some were hard on me
And hard on those who at my side
Were friends supporting me?But one lesson learned that I can see
A hard one to accept
Mistakes are through the window seen
Just accept them with regretFor now they’re done and in the past
There’s nothing I can change
But learn from my own book of life
And move along the wayIts clearer now, the reasons why
This is why I am this way
But in this room I need to choose
If this is how I think I’ll stayMy childhood times had ups and downs
Were sometimes good and bad
I know that part was years ago
Grew memories happy, sadFor dwelling on those years ago
Not letting go the past
Will hold me down and hold me back
If that, the die is castThe world has changed and I have too
There’s nothing much the same
So holding tight to all those memories
Is also laying blameI blame myself or blame the world
It’s through the window done
But the past remains within in the past
Perceptions on and onPast cannot climb into this room
Except as lessons learned
But then it wasn’t always bad
Not all the bridges burnedRemember fondly what was good
For they are lessons too
And they are things that can be used
As I look at life anew -

The torch threw a pale light in the expanse of the cave. It created a moving, flickering pattern of orange light in the far recesses, where ssensed than seen. The light on the dry area around the group made it […]
