Echoes in my head...

I lost so I cried, shrieked and made myself mad
I passed every moment forth in agony, pain and regret
Tears flooded me; rippled on my beverages;
Dropped down my cheeks as raindrops
I cursed myself for not listening to my heart
If I could only have…if…if..
This haunting ‘if’ reverberates, echoes in my head
After some time it even bangs my ears
My legs seem to get chained to my past
They refuse to move ahead
the only moment being writhing in exasperation
then one fine morning the noise of the world shakes me
I stand up realizing that I have wasted all my time
They say yesterday is history
But have I done?
I have made it a mystery; unsolvable enigma
Upon which the genius even put down their pens
History is unchangeable but we still live on it
We forget the present given to us by God
The present moment; we are so ungrateful
We do not even accept our present
Let alone give it

I wonder why we remember our bitterest experiences when we have the potential to move ahead.
