Should we spend our time just looking back?
And replay our lives all painted black?
Should we say 'What if's...?' or 'If only... '
To explain why we are sad and lonely?

So do not be angry with the past.
Try making your contentment last.

(Waring! Excessive use of expletives)

Hindsight illuminates the plight

Retrospect brings dark to light

Kept seeking sane rationale

 searched the very core inside

Answers did never justify

with none to stand be...

With expended all vigor and resources in despair

Past forte banked upon has since proven wrong

Heart though persistent, head tells to move along

Most of earlier envisaged is contrarily turning about

Staunchest of old values now cast many a doubt

Notwithstanding abilities, I feel isolated and prone

Trying to put brave guise

deep down within I burn

In quest of eternal bliss
