He Wished He Had Gone Directly Home by Art from the Heart published on 2021-07-23T02:35:51Z He wished he had gone directly home, Instead of making a bad decision that he now has to own. He gave the woman her money, They did the dirty deed, And now he lives with regrets that haunt his every dream. He wakes up covered in sweat in the middle of the night, And thinks of his awful choices, and feels a sense of fright. I should have been more careful! I should have used my head! Instead he was reckless, And now may wind up dead. I wish I was stronger, I wish I could go back, But life doesn’t work that way, And unfortunately that is that. And now that he’s here, and desperately wants to live, If only there were do-overs, If only he could forgive. What do you do when you make a bad choice? Pick up the pieces, and ignore that inner voice. Take a deep breath, and believe you can cope today, Learn from your mistakes, and love yourself unconditionally.
