Regret

Do you ever wish you could take it back? You know...that thing you did once? The thing that you regret. You wanna take it back so badly, but it just sits in the corner of your mind, and every once in a while it'll stand up and say, "Hey, remember me?" You hang your head down in slight-depression and think to yourself, "Why was I so stupid?"
I think we've all done this. Sometimes we act like it's no big deal, but we really just want to run back into our room, shut the door, and pretend it never happened.

It wasn't my idea to write about this. But, I think it's something we all feel from time to time. I know I have, and that's why I can give perspective on it.

Regret is not a good feeling, so if you haven't felt it before, I'm very happy for you. You must be some sort of an awesome person. But, for those of us who have felt regret...It sucks.

Jacinda's Poem

There once was a girl named Jacinda.
She didn't have anything to write,
So, she sat at her desk,
With her head in a mess.
And wondered how to make this rhyme.

Jacinda did a pretty cool thing.
She wrote a poem within an hour.
It's just write above,
And to be honest it sucks,
And the taste it leaves is quite sour.

For some reason this poem goes on.
Here she goes again.
So, she wants to know,
Of some poems you wrote.
And I'll stop talking in third person.

This is my email address:

And don't forget to tell your mom.

Send me your poem and the name to go with it and I'll post them individually.
(P.S. This is something I will keep posting about until I get emails.) Thank you. (:
