Life sometimes is more than tough, it is rough. Breaking a cycle of regrets can be making it stay.


Poem Artwork

How many times

do you knot that piece of string

lifes problems are like that

how many times have you done it

gone over the same path

picked up a problem

started tying once again.

The errors you've made

the paths you could have gone

that bad attitude

that stopped you

moving on,

everything is complex

another knot saved

so is it a ball you want

how many have you saved?

Once it was one 

did it have to grow

a bit of determination

could it have been undone

then left alone?

It's easy to return

time and time again

go over all the errrors

deny yourself a chance

to throw away

the could be ball

and start all over again.

Stop denying yourself

that chance to move on

stop returning to another not

instead

start all over again.

Codependency is like that. Some people don't know how to get out of codependent relationships.
