Questions I don’t want to ask
Answers I don’t want to know
Decisions I don’t want to make
Places I don’t want to go

A life I lived in retrospect
Choices that I should have made
Chances had but left untaken
Regrets untouched until today

Acting brave while being frightened
Believing through vast waves of doubt
Hold my tongue and quell my urges
Quiet, where I want to shout

Looking back, I know the answers
Future times remain unknown
Deciding on a course of action
With help, or by myself alone

Try my best to do the right thing
Thinking how I should proceed
Forgive myself when failure follows
Grateful if I do succeed.
