Sit and Think

Its Raskolnikov

Sometimes I sit and think,

About life,

How it could be different,

How it could and should be and have been,

And in the end I'd redo it,

But I wouldn't change a thing,

I don't want it to be perfect,

I don't want to change who I am,

 

I think about how I laugh with the best of friends now,

And how they make me smile,

I'd like them to stay a while,

But how?

 

I sit and think of the lovers,

The ones I've lost to an eternity of heart break and life,

The ones I know I can never see again,

Cause all the pain they went through,

They couldn't pull through,

I hate that truth,

It kills me that I can't see you anymore,

You're deep in my my soul,

You're six feet down,

I want to drown,

 

Then I think of the greatness of life's tale,

I think of how I can't fail,

I have to set sail,

With those whom I care the most,

And I'll be free to express myself,

I want to tell all my feelings to those I love,

I want to share all my joy with those who will set sail too,

From coast to coast,

Friends and family and romance,

These are life's doves,

 

I hope I can find all the secrets to life,

I want to save the world from the dark's hold,

I want to live a life of love though I know there'll be trouble,

I know I can't give in to the cold,

If I'm with you I know I'll be able to grow old,

 

Sometimes I sit and think,

Of all of life's strife,

What seems to be made of gold,

Is just a knife,

But still I want to live long and be told,

"I love you for life",

I want to end the world's cruelty,

Help the homeless,

And all those in this land,

That'd be grand, 

And I know life's like sand,

But I'll still take my stand,

    I do like your poem. There is a great difference between thinking about and doing. So, go do it, live your dream. Life is too short for regrets.
