okay...here's my drop...keep in mind this is my first topical battle so...

Regrets: The Unchosen Path

My heart's become scathed from past situations unchanged
Regrets influence future decisions,while previous hurt remains
Inside my mind I relapse, rewinding time like motion pictures
Always falling for the same traps, escaping through written scriptures
Wishing I could go back, edit out every single problematic altercation
But in my head i realize that i'm far past these altered situations
Still i reminisce, screaming internally, so many things left unsaid
Wondering if it could've been different, had i spoken up instead
And how many more oppurtunites, will i choose to carelessly overlook
Hurt floods my heart overwhelmingly, one regret was all that it took
I'm still standing defiant, but have become weakend by my lack of action
Trying to progress forward in my life, but steady slipping without traction
Certain instances left me feeling helpless, spiraling easily out of control
Bearing burdens, being selfless, in order to lift the weight off my soul
As i shed these outer garments, a new being has slowly transformed
Never again shall life surpass me, even if i must deviate from the norm
So as I find function, settle down, and assume my role to play in life
Never stray, defy junction, in order to eliminate all the pain and strife
Eyes now filled with acceptance, my actions created these false results
Now, finally fulfilling my repentance, owning up to every one of my faults
