Regret

Hush voices
in my
head
leave me be
I see me
years from now
sitting by the
door I
once called
home
silently
passers by
point and laugh
it's him
hush these voices
I can hear
I see me
afraid
to do what
life had set me to
great things
no one else could see
there it goes
my opportunity
from my fingers
it slides through
hush these voices
in my head
I did
all that I
could do
