In shadows cast by yesteryears’ despair,
Regret’s bitter tinge fills the heavy air.
With remorse as a burden upon my soul,
I seek redemption to make myself whole.

Oh, how I wish to rewrite my past,
Undo mistakes and make amends that last.
But time’s unyielding grip won’t let me sway,
Thus, I must find another path to portray.

Through ashes of remorse, hope shall ignite,
A chance to mend, to make my wrongs right.
With humble steps and a contrite heart,
Redemption’s flame can surely impart.

For in the depths of regret’s dark embrace,
Opportunity awaits, poised with grace.
To reconcile with those I’ve hurt in strife,
To seek forgiveness and reclaim my life.

No more shall I dwell in the shadows of old,
Instead, I’ll forge a future, strong and bold.
With lessons learned, my spirit will ascend,
A tale of redemption, a life to mend.

So, let remorse be the catalyst for change,
A catalyst that transforms and rearranges.
Regret and redemption, intertwined as one,
The journey begun, a new chapter begun.
