To: Me From: Regret

What I feared I would become

Is exactly what I became

Why didn't I just give in?

It's too late now

I've put everyone to shame

 

I had one leg in and one leg out

My heart was so filled with doubt

I tried everything I could

To make things work

They did,

But I was miserable

 

I know nothing's the same

...I understood

From the very beginning

Change is change

You don't notice  

Unless you're losing

 

Leaders lead

They lead with honor and strength

They do as thier told

They watch their tounge

They set the example for their young

 

I had too much expression

I should of kept quiet

I was a dictator

I created a riot

 

I payed my respects

But behind the curtain

I said too much

Should of kept my mouth shut

Enough was enough

 

What exactly did I become?

What was the thing I most feared?

The answer is two faced

Couldn't be any more clear

If I could turn back I would

I'd erase the things I said for good

It's too late now the song is sung

It's too late now what's done is done


The author's comments:

I went through a lot of change in my junior year of high school and, because of that change, I had gotten myself into a lot of pesky predicaments, so wrote this piece one late night when my soul was feeling like a shaken up soda bottle.
