Cyclical Regret
Location
Bursting with opportunity,
The world is but a door
Hiding potential, sheltering hope
At the mercy of those within
Some individuals prevail
The ones harboring power
Opening doors
Succeeding in every endeavor
The timid fall back
Apprehension apparent
With discontent thick in the air
Missed opportunity rubs confidence raw
The abrasive touch of regret
Hindering the future
Clouding past triumphs
Holding back bright spirits
Chances seemingly vanish
The door closes, the key turns
Bursting with opportunities for all
Unfortunate souls see only a locked door
