I wish I knew then what I knew now
Altering the past would’ve been a beautiful thing if it was feasible
I was never this genius that some people have told me
I’m still learning, yet I feel that I still don’t know enough
If I could have erased my ignorance
I could’ve had a better life
Bullies would be discredited
And none would dare challenge me again
I want to know and show I’m right
Where no one could argue against what I know
I think many of us feel this way. I know I do. Oh, the things I would do differently if I could. The different paths I would have taken. To be able to do it all over again, if only that could happen. But tis not to be. And oh how I suffer for the choices that I have made. It seems as though they have all been wrong and I live with the consequences.
Great poem!

It’s good to know that my thought process on this issue isn’t that rare. I really wish I had some do-overs in life.
Thank you, Shelby!
