In the depths of silence, pain resides
Aching regret, where conscience hides
I should have acted, with purpose and might
But laziness consumed, and obscured my sight
The sands of time slipped through my grasp
As I let moments fade away, like a dream
The needful tasks left untouched and ignored
Now haunt my thoughts, as sorrow is poured
Oh, the bitter taste of hindsight's sting
Echoing within, the choices that I bring
Silent pain envelops my weary soul
Reminding me of the toll of my negligent role
But lessons learned, however late they may be
Should not be dismissed, but dearly embraced
For in remorse, there lies a silver line
To seize the day, before it leaves us behind
So heed this advice, let it not be in vain
Make hay while the sun is shining, no time to disdain
Act with purpose, and let laziness depart
Embrace the present, with a passionate heart
For in the silence of regret and pain
We find the strength to rise again and proclaim
That though mistakes may linger, within our core
It's never too late to strive for something more
