Changing Sides- The Regret Poem by Amy Fifita

Anger, sadness, regret,
Emotions of depression.
Darkness has spread,
Walls continue to build.
Bridges don't burn,
Because there were none to begin with.

Manifestation of hate and doubt,
Buried in my broken dreams,
There is no happiness here.
I've escaped to more horror, more tears,
More of the things I escaped from,
Now the choice is just a regret.

No one to stop me, no one to care,
The only thing stopping me is me,
I want my old life,
The life of journey, the life of hope,
Now all I'm living for is to avoid fire,
But I still have the choice to go back and I will return to hope.
