Ghosts

A hallucination of some famous regret.
Mistakes in our past we’ve made.
These come not from beyond the pale
But rise up from our gravest doubts –
Doubts about ourselves and
The very world we live in.

Each ill conceived notion we have,
Each ill considered thing we’ve done is
A ghost which haunts us for eternity –
If we let it.


Regret.
Regret is for the foolish;
The weak;
The tormented.

Kill it
Before it bleeds you.
