Body Suit

Body Suit

As youth is wasted 
on the young..
 
Reminiscence 
is wasted on the middle aged..
 

Regret is testiment to
a misspent youth..
 
Regret is also testiment 
to an unfulfilled life..
 
If every mistake of yesteryear 
was etched in flesh 
with ink..

I'd have a full body suit

A one that I'd wear proud

But Syd, you are in a state of flux, the mistakes are a thing of the
past now. Just imagine, for one moment...if what you've learnt from the
mistakes of the past would be etched in flesh with ink, what a marvelous body suit this would be. Fabulous writing, really is! Stay cool, B

I like to say ... no regrets, just lessons learned! Definitely wear your suit with pride. Scars? What scars? That's art.

Love this poem of yours!

I think we would all fare better if our scars left marks on our skin instead of in our heads hearts and souls  Syd... what cruelly beautiful bodies we would all possess then. Hugs x
