i have failed

at so much
i wish i hadn’t
if i could go back
time travelers,

what would you change?

is the truth of now 

in that reflection

of the past

(it is.)

I wouldn’t change much

but each 

erasing today

an impossible dream

open your eyes and surrounded

the light of this day

arrives here only once

(some nights last for years)

what’s the truth

of the past

of those things 

regret

those things

could’ve happened, 

no.

other ways

are always possible

in your mind is a 

trap

logical fallacies 

stories told to oneself

only knows for sure

why are you sitting where you are

today;

is the only possible product of all those

moments

today is and no other

anything was possible

an infinity of alternatives

(i would have done)

 

what’s the difference?

is knowing the difference

those in looking behind

and which 

would you choose the same

a second time around 

we don’t exist except 

for now

i’m beginning to get

accepting how you’ve

(have you)

grown

into a person

closer to accepting

that failing 

some things take 

a lifetime is filled with so many

constantly iterating an existence

toward the same end 

as any other

regrets to share

only that I know

some choices

I would change

others, no

none, possible

today is

all there is.
