Youthful Selfish Me

My heart has been broken
Many times indeed
But I'm not innocent
I've broken two or three

Youth can be blind
I was not sensitive to others needs
I just moved on down the road
To see what life could be

Age has brought me wisdom
Now I clearly see
I should have taken more time
To let others down gently

I'm sorry for the ones I hurt
I was young and stupid-people got burnt
I avoided unpleasantries
Looking for the easiest path for selfish me

If I could go back
I'd slap myself silly
I'd say - Your being a bitch
Cold and mean like a witch
I'd make myself accountable
But I was blind to me

Youthful Selfish Me!

Hi Terry, 
Sensational ???
Loved the honesty in this write. We obviously cannot go back and change what happened but ofcourse,this is one of the ways we can pay off that guilt that has been building inside of us.This expression coercively explains it. 
You are a Rockstar ?
much love sis xx

Dear Terry,

Oft times when we are looking back
On the periods of our naive youth
We coil with embarrassment
For being so uncouth

.
We hurt a lot of gentle Souls
Our egos out of control
If only they were near us now
We could hold and them console

Hugs, Peace and Love,
Larry xxx
