REGRET by Brenda Michelle

I do not believe in REGRET 

but if I allowed myself to believe 

then I would REGRET

The nights slept in. 

the words unspoken.

the people unheard,

and the feelings not felt. 

But since I do not believe in REGRET 

I then instead appreciate 

The nights slept in. 

the words spoken, 

the people heard, 

and the feelings felt. 

For years I was scared of many things. Leaving Los Angeles, falling in love, and my greatest fear, dying. As time passed and I experienced great things as well as horrible things I learned the most important lesson of my life: Regardless of wether an experience is a "Good" one or a "Bad" one I will Live it, Love it and Learn from it. No matter what religion, God, or higher power that one believes in every experience should be lived. Although for a long time I felt REGRET towards a lot of decisions made, and experiences lived I no longer believe in REGRET but rather in Living.
