Unseen Regrets

Tariqul Islam Siam

The fear you face today

Impedes your soul

Later don’t whine and say

I couldn’t reach my goal

Forsaken you will feel

In despair, you will kneel

“What could have been?!”

My friend,

Don’t let it remain unseen

Bestowed with vision,

you might have been

With yourself, you committed treason

Misfortune!

But you were not so keen!

Unwise maybe I

But I have left hundreds of sighs

Do as you may

Don’t regret it later

That could have been your heyday

But now you falter!

Heed the words of this ‘unwise’

The outcome you say?

Believe me, you won’t despise

Believe, and live

The path ahead may not be so steep

Take the step, my friend

Let’s see what awaits at the end!
