Looking Back Now....I Sometimes Wish Things

I am going to be completely honest.
I look back on that Tuesday.
It was September and I
was young.
Swept away by the tides of life.
I had thought there was only
one way out of this.
Thought things would never be different.
But I didn't think
about the reprocussions.
About the other people.
The one moment I took in my life
to think about myself
to be selfish
I spent dying.
And if I could take it back
of course, I gladly would.
But I have learned.
I've learned to love even
the smallest of things.
But I still read back
to that Tuesday in September
and wonder what it would be like
if all these words hereafter
had never existed.
I'm glad they do.
