Consequences
I didn’t know this would happen
Suppose this is meant to be.
The danger that is passing me
It burns my surface, shredding to open
This danger is consuming inside
Yet the pain is underneath skin
Suddenly, I realized my actions were sin
My actions were wrong and took a ride
The joyride is over, time for sight
Remember what I should have done
Looking back can never recover anyone…
Favoring bad as I ignored right
Water rolling from my eyes. GREAT!
Preventing the danger would be wise
My reckless behavior could not compromise
My scars telling me “it’s much too late.”

Scars and haunting regrets are something everyone can relate to. You are not alone in having done something that leads us to feeling something very much like this. Moments of self-awareness are very important because not only do they lead to beautiful poems such as these but they help you udnerstand the things that you have done and your own emotions. I hope to read poems that have heped your progress and get through times like these. Thank you so much for sending this in, and sharing this with the rest of the Power Poetry community.
