Most of the time he would notice
Great things are temporary
The best parts of life are thrown to the side
Unappreciated as he continues to chase
-
Regrets come by quick, realizations come by slowly
Remembering decisions that ruined things;
Entirely missing the whole point of reflecting
He rants for next few hours, days and months
-
Accomplishments he finished, but not perfected
The thirst for validation that doomed his mental state
For ten years, he had set eyes into puddles
Ignoring the ripples that showed growth over the years
