Two Dresses

 

I regret it when I suppress my feelings too long

and they burst forth in ways that are

distorted or attacking or hurtful.

I regret it when I get tangled up in my own mind,

lost in thoughts that have me

spinning around and around.

I regret it when I don’t share myself with others,

keeping all of my ideas to myself.

I regret it when I distrust the people

who are trustworthy.

I regret it when I am so busy that I don’t

take the time to stop and simply be present.

I regret it when I don’t realize that what

I need is always there, waiting for me to notice it.
