Tiger's Book of poetry - 14. Poem 14: Truth and Reconciliation

Knowing what I want but seeing it flee my grasp

I’ve held onto hope for as long as I can

Cast aside are my blinders of hope

My deepest regrets I can hide no longer

My mistakes always have costs too great

Knowing what I may have lost forever

I’ve held onto the pain which cannot cease

Cast aside are the longings of my heart

My deepest fear may reach fruition with fury

My mistakes are mine and mine alone

Knowing what I must do to regain what I have lost

I’ve held onto my own depressed moods for too long

Cast aside my sorrows shall be when the time is right

My deepest longing could someday become reality

My mistakes though grave can be erased by time
