I am not a blank slate
I do not want to forget
I want to keep my regrets
Even those I hate

I am a living metaphor
I am something I’m not
Something everyone forgot
I don’t matter anymore

I am...not quite here
I drift away sometimes
I get stuck out of my mind
I run from all I hold dear

I am a bright new page
In an torn, old book
I won’t turn back and look
I’ll make my own way...

I know I should just wipe away these regrets, become a blank slate once more, but...I can't. I want to keep them with me because they are my memories and I hold them so dear to me, even though they hurt when I think about them.

I just...I wanna go and scream and punch something and...you know what I mean...but I can't because then my mum will notice. And I'm not in a bad mood as such just...I can't explain it.

Just as I can't really explain this poem. Just written while gaining a third regret. I don't keep many close to my heart - regrets are worthless normally. But these three...they just...yeah.

Hope you like the poem, it's a bit odd because that's the state of my mind at the moment.

Love you all dearly.

Almighty God, in every way, you are above and beyond understanding.

Ever seen "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind?"
I imagine such regrets are so fluidly related.

Tell me if you need to talk, only time seems to soothe regrets, but talking can help a little - so my offer is here, as I, to help.
