Regret
I thought it was a flight of great courage.
To prove something to everyone I know.
I plunged into the dark tunnel so fast,
that I forgot to think of the danger.
Surrounding me, I see no trace of light.
I feel a sense of fear engulfs me so.
The air is stale, the ground is wet – it shows.
Pitch dark, so dark it is, that’s all I know.
I am alone, all by myself, I moan.
Why did I take the plunge? Now I regret.
I try so hard to fight my tears which flow.
Sorrow is just what keeps me company.
I am now trapped within, with much regret.
No one to blame but only me myself.
