Thoughts of the past


Ever wake in the night with thoughts of what could have been?

The risks you couldv'e taken, the moments you let pass by.

Or wake to just be haunted by your decisons.

The decisons that you've made that aren't your best.

When all those thoughts pile up and steal your sleep; You must grasp the good and never let it go.

In this world the one person who will try to destroy you is yourself.

Don't be afraid of anyone but yourelf. 

You don't only have the power to ruin yourself but better yourself.

So if you ever wake in the night with thoughts of what could have been just close your eyes and think of all that has been.
