Start Over

by Jenni Marie   May 18, 2007


Thinking about the past
With a sad smile upon my face
Nostalgia washing over me
Remembering a happier place.

Recalling all the mistakes I made
Never did I rectify any
Wondering how one person
Could possibly make so many.

Confusion slowly closing in upon me
Wishing always for the past
Wouldn't have taken things for granted
If I'd known happy memories would not last.

Lost everything due to carelessness
Blaming others when mistakes were mine
Wallowing in self pity for so long
Now I'm starting over-it's finally time.

    I liked this one because it sounded so pure and the way you told it was in a way that people can understand and probably apply to thier own life

    "Recalling all the mistakes I made
    Never did I try to rectify any
    Wondering how one person
    Could possibly make so many."

    If i could just suggest maybe changing the second line to "Never did i rectify any", just to keep the flow in check as when i read it aloud it sounds one or two syllables off

    But it's amazing all the same.
    Well done
    5/5
