Repentant Regret
I regret the childhood
I never experienced
I regret the deafening words I endured
Because I was born
I regret the unwanted approaches
I couldn’t give fight to
I regret that my parents wouldn’t see
I did not invite them to play
I regret at the age of 16, I gave up
and began to engage in torrid affairs
I regret at 17, while still a child myself
I became a mother with no ones support
I regret that first marriage
Accepting because, our friends were doing it too
I regret concealing the bruises
And ignoring the broken bones
All because he said he was sorry
I regret considering
The mendacity he forced me to believe
Said I was repulsive, crazy, and undeserving of love
I regret the dishonesty I exposed on his behalf
And the tears I shed because I was frail
I regret being corned like a dog
And never biting back
But I will never regret
That day I left
And I will never regret
Having taught my daughter
She does not deserve
That kind of abuse
I never experienced
I regret the deafening words I endured
Because I was born
I regret the unwanted approaches
I couldn’t give fight to
I regret that my parents wouldn’t see
I did not invite them to play
I regret at the age of 16, I gave up
and began to engage in torrid affairs
I regret at 17, while still a child myself
I became a mother with no ones support
I regret that first marriage
Accepting because, our friends were doing it too
I regret concealing the bruises
And ignoring the broken bones
All because he said he was sorry
I regret considering
The mendacity he forced me to believe
Said I was repulsive, crazy, and undeserving of love
I regret the dishonesty I exposed on his behalf
And the tears I shed because I was frail
I regret being corned like a dog
And never biting back
But I will never regret
That day I left
And I will never regret
Having taught my daughter
She does not deserve
That kind of abuse
