REGRET

my walks in life has led me to lots of dealings 

even when I couldn’t afford a thousand shillings 

some route I laid waste on regret 

others I prayed to beget 

bright colors I tainted and soiled 

corresponding opaque mauled 

my fingers twitched and itched for deeds 

I ignored cause I am strong willed 

some hearts I broke to pieces 

some lips I ignored their kisses 

hands I ignored to hold 

left genuine love in a bizarre cold 

happiness knocked and I mocked 

ignored her plea because I suck

you may judge me for all my insanities 

this is the true me, my own identity 

regrettable state I was at a time 

when the beat of my heart and blinks couldn’t rhyme 

my walks wobbles but I seldom trip 

I still get lucky anytime life does the coin flip 

this is me now still swimming in beauty 

for I have made restitutions in duties 

my thoughts ushered in back to sanity 

I wish I had stay true to chastity
