No Regrets

by Elizabeth

I like to think that I have no regrets
That everything’s turned out for the best.
While there’s a part of me that knows it is true
Right now I am being put to the test.
I feel like I’ve let someone down
Since I let my life become overtaken by my fears.
I need to somehow find the missing part of me
That was lost during the broken years.
It’s like being my own puzzle
When there’s just a piece or two that no one can find
Somewhere out there, just out of my sight
That I know somehow has been left behind.
The pain I feel and tears I cry
Secrets locked deep within my heart
Not finding one who can understand
So secrecy has become, for me, an art.
It’s hard for me to know what to do
So I just feel others' pain along with my own.
And when that happens and I start to cry
I just want to be alone.
I want to be able to open up to people
But fear being hurt by someone’s stupid game.
Guy or girl, it doesn’t matter
The fear is exactly the same.
There’s a part of me out there somewhere
That I need to find for the sake of my soul.
Whenever I come upon it
Is the day when I will be whole.
I know that I have nothing to regret
That’s something that will always be true
Because God will help us grow stronger
That’s why He sends us the trials to go through.
