ACT – a poem by studentasim

Did it matter?
You missed the opportunity
ACT
You used to give yourself chances
But now it’s different
No time left
ACT
The gem in thought is when you make that split decision
Not after the fact
Did you hear that?
A stealth decision in the moment
ACT
It was right there
Handed to you
But you held back
Don’t hold back
ACT
I’d rather live with the fear of acting
Then in the shadow of shame
There is no forgiveness
No you won’t be forgiven
ACT
I made one mistake
Two mistakes
Three mistakes
four
Don’t let this walk away
Not any more
ACT
