Regret is a word never meant to be abused, it is a word to to be used to express in depth, are
mindful acknowledgement of things we lost through life's tests, I regret not taking the
opportunities to speak up, I regret every walking with my head down to ashamed to look up, I
regret not taking the time to lift up my hurt fallen brother,I regret being birthed without the love of
a mother, and I regret each day gone by that I didn't try to help another, I regret the years lost
wasting away in society's prisons, and I regret not hearing the words i love you Josh you're my
son,I regret not pushing hard enough,of so easily giving up when life got rough,of waiting to long
to push back showing the world that I'm tough, and of allowing the disrespect and self neglect
prolong when I should have said that's enough, I regret making the choice to not voice my
thoughts or my opinion,and I regret not making a difference in the world we all live in, I regret
not demanding respect, not planning for what comes next, for the self abuse and unmindful
mental neglect, I regret not striving to pass lifes trials to push the extra miles and conquer every
test, I regret putting up some boundaries and setting on myself my limitations,and I regret
cowering back at the showering accusations and painful discriminations, I regret not fighting
with my talent my words, and showing the world not the fist but the pen that's the deadly sword,
I allowed others thoughts 2 hinder me from being my all and giving nothing but my best, I regret
learning to late that life is a game of chess,each second that we blink or let our body take a
breath, we take for granted our existence blindly living the life of which we've been blessed, I
regret succumbing to a depressed stressed state of a psychological human being, and I regret
closing my eyes not wanting to be seeing or believing life's painful teachings,i regret not pushing
harder through the ups and downs angles and slants,and I regret ever letting come from my
mouth the word I can't, I regret my nightmares and wallowing in my lair of sorrow, and I regret
my fearful thoughts of the ever nearful tomorrow, so I write this to say that I Joshua Patton
today, will portray broadcast and with pride shall display, that I'm proud that I have no fear I
stand up tall and speak up loud that I regret something but I acknowledge also one thing that
ever scar every day off yesterday has still made me into something, I am willing for self to fight
harder, for personal wealth to push farther, no more self neglect only honor integrity and
personal respect, surrounded by positive influence no more negativity or disrespect, I'm
prepared, whether it's life or death my last day hour or last breath, I'm leaving it all on the field,
I'm prepared using my words as bullets and wisdom as my shield,my sword of knowledge and
purpose in my hand do i yield, no regrets what's next is my best its into tomorrow that I
advance,im prepared my life I've shared 32 years I've fared live or die today I'll try let this be my
last and final stance, I'm a the raging ocean let
J
