[bodytext] => Whishing to go back in time A time traveler I desire Taking back the slurred words Doing it over again This time with more feelings and nerves It’s too late now My moment in the sun has faded The camera is off my face And I sit and write jaded I held back When I could have unleashed my havoc I decided to retract The initial thought that made magic They all stood around Watching my every move The interviewer wore a gown A white sheet with two holes He was a ghost with a microphone He said he had been abused He asked why I hated him too I stood there in shock As they all awaited my response Had I known I would have prepared I was just walking along I was off to cut my hair Right on my street The crew of them set up shop They had a difficult feat The typical NYC block There was a deeper message In what the ghost had to say He was acting all aloof Like he was rehearsing a play Yet, I sit here his proof That his words stung my day A wavier of consent To air my stupidity to the world Let me now repent For when you see the advice I gave It ain’t worth one damn cent I wish I could go back in time So I can change these misfortunes I wish I had been on cue When the world waited with caution My words could have moved The slightest of docile minds My idea could have sparked the illusion That we are all one Just one of a kind Instead I pray You find that out for yourself When you find your way And achieve you goals The penalty for success Is constantly prepared to unfold While the simple reality tests Which way the child grows Nature verse Nurture Only the ghost can know [comments] => 2 [counter] => 161 [topic] => 43 [informant] => jyssvw22 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
