Regret

Did some stuff where I used little brain
Acted before I thought, which is insane
Said too much, did this and that
Wish time could rewind
It’s awful wearing the regret hat
Regret makes me bite my nails
Makes my heart pound
Makes me ask, “what was I thinking?”
Was my mind sound?
Wish it was the other way around
Wish I thought before I acted
Wish certain events of my life could be subtracted
Wish I wasn’t so distracted
By what I thought wouldn’t cause me to regret
The price owed is heavy,
Regret has the weight of a levy
Wish I was Microsoft Office
Wish I could cut and undo what’s already done
Because suffering for actions isn’t fun
Wish there wasn’t such a thing as too late
Wish I could do something about it
Wish I didn’t have to accept fate
Why does the flesh try to overpower the spirit
Like an endless rain and thunder storm
Why is that bad voice always there?
Why does it shout louder as if I’m deaf?
Why won’t it let me be?
Why does it lie to me?
Why is the picture always greater, but deceptive?
Why are my ears unreceptive?
Why is the fruit riper to the eye?
Obstructing my vision from the worm hidden nearby
Wish I was perfect, wish the road was easy
Wish there was neither a devil nor autonomy
Wish God chose everything for me or told me in advance
About what I’d do or say, so I’d have a chance
To correct future wrongs, to prevent stupid moves
Wish I could control the power I’d refuse to use
Wish I could control my life at times like I control the Sims
Wish every day was sunny, instead of the sporadic dark and dim

Regret knocks the wind out of me, makes me wish I was a turtle
Wish I could hide under a shell
I mean, there's no such thing as handling regret well
