Life’s Unchangeable Doodles: Lessons from the Past

Doodles

So it’s One for the night my heart was broken 

One for the joke I took too far 

One for the night that I went too far 

I’ve got doodles I’d undo 

If only I could 

Just to see where my life would take me 

But I don’t regret the path I’ve taken but all the same  

I’d love to see the doodles of what my life could have been 

So it’s one for the chaos I’ve caused 

One for the hearts I broke 

One for the fight that I should have fought 

So what are we up to now 6 doodles I’d undo just to see how my life could have been  

I say I have no regrets but that’s not true not really 

Everyone has regrets even me 

I just don’t dwell on them no instead I run from them 

Because dwelling on them does nothing 

But today I’ll deal in a little introspection and dwell just for a little while 

I’ll talk of the doodles I wish I could undo like an Etch A Sketch  

There’s been times i flew to close to the sun 

Like Icarus 

I felt the warmth of things I had always wanted and I flew close to the sun 

Particularly to the angel that saved me so many years ago 

She thawed out my frozen broken heart and I flew too close to the sun that was her 

Not truly believing I deserved happiness I self sabotaged and melted the wax from my own wings 

But Life isn’t an Etch A Sketch doodles cant be undone 

Mistakes can’t be unmade 

You can never go back 

Time Travel isn’t real and you can never go back and repair what you’ve destroyed 

Instead all you can do is try to take lesson from your past 

And draw it forward 

Use the doodles you wish you could undo and staple them to the wall of your heart 

Reminding you of the mistakes made and how to not make them again.
