Regrets

As the breezes stream past me, feelings of loss can still reach inside and twist my heart.

All the reasons for my choices are not clearly rooted; sometimes impulse had the upper hand.

No matter how hard I try to keep spite from rearing its ugly head, it still can strike me out of nowhere.

Yesterday is gone, and focusing on today will hopefully dim any regrets obstinately holding on.

I pray that optimism will pave the road in front of me, and consideration of others will help guide my choices.

In the end, I will not run away. I will stand up for myself.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
