only if

something i wanted but cant be

there are things i wished for
events that i dreamed too
but i know it was something that will not come true

oh could those things would be done?
and how i wish they do
so that it can make me happy too

sometimes regrets knocks on our doorway
can we turn back the time to correct them?
or we should learn from them?

they say experience is the best teacher
do you agree to them
or you wanted it to be proven?

if only.....
if only....
those words we usually hear

can we change them
to
"yes i have done it"
it was the right thing that I've did

something to reflect with.............

Like all things we must be logical. Regret can be a bear. Sometime we want things that will be bad for us. I told my children. Always think and have a back-up plan. If things will go wrong. They will. A very good poem. Your question is something each of us must decide. A excellent poem.

This was a great write! I really liked the tone of this piece, and the way in which you tackled emotions that we all experience during our lifetime. There was a real sense of wisdom and truth behind this write, and reading this provoked a lot of thought and questioning within myself, and what my views are. A very deep poem. Nice work,

I like where the idea of this poem is going. Things never really do go as planned and many times we are left with unrealized dreams and "what if"s. I would encourage you to read through your work. There are a few words that didn't really fit too well. For instance "oh could those things would came true?" and the last word I think should have been "done"? Very good idea though!! :)

Wow..this is a deep journey into your inner mind. I feel as if I was swimming through the sights and sounds. Very thought provoking.
