I could have been so much more

At school my grades were rather poor

More interested in having laughs and chat

I should have been revising and all of that

I could have been so much more

A veterinary nurse, to train a bore

Or a forensic pathologist, I could have been

Studying was inside, I wanted to be seen

Then a midwife, I really wanted to be

To study at my age it's not meant to be

I never had the drive or passion to do more

Life was hard enough, life was a chore

Things kind of took over in my life

Full of problems and family strife

I wish all that negativity I could have stored

Then back into my life positivity poured

I could have been more if I'd had a chance

To just breathe and live life without backward glance

I know this was the path I myself chose

But so many doors I did wrongly close

I know it's silly to sit and dwell of what could have been

But so many missed opportunities it would seem

Kind of leaves me with a feeling of loss

Life is like a coin that you tentatively toss

So I try to stop these wallowing thoughts

Haul myself out of the net of self pity that I'm caught

For I know I'm so blessed in many different ways

But into the face of my past I sometimes gaze
