Thirteen Years

Author's Note: Going back to a little bit of teenage angst here, poem style.

Thirteen Years

__________________________________________________________

Thirteen years have passed you by,

Shameful memories make you sigh.

Things you did, things you said,

Regret goes straight through your head.

Thirteen years of hurting others,

Hypocrite! You're now uncovered.

Spoken taunts, mocking looks,

Self esteem that you greedily took.

Thirteen years of denying your actions,

Look back and cry; a worthy reaction.

You see what you did, and you regret,

But are you finished yet?
