Reckless Abandon (National Poetry Writing Month 2025 #15)   Leave a comment

With reckless abandon,
I threw away my most important things
Without a thought.

Now, with a clearer head,
I can no longer function as I need;
I'm lesser now.

But, since time flows onward,
I cannot return to a greener past;
They can't come back.

I shoulder my failure.
I'll endure, and hopefully with hard work,
I will get through.

– SR Romney 2025
