I know.
I know the secrets
to a good life now.
I didn’t know
at the time before,
when it mattered most.
When I could still persevere,
still take the right turn
at that fork in the road.
Still haunting
are the choices I’ve made,
still punishing and overwhelming.
Knowing young is better.
Knowing older
has been pure survival.
It’s never too late to think young.
Regret is a bitch. And she has sharp claws.
Beautifully penned, Daniel. In the book it belongs! It’s nice to share and impart valuable information my friend. Appreciate you.
