Wasted Potential
By Ashley O’Hare
Did I waste my potential?
Was choosing happiness my downfall?
Should I have chosen a different career?
Would I be happier with the title of “Doctor?”
I wish life was not full of unknowns
because when forecasted rain turns into snow,
my carefully curated day is blown
and I am left to stay home alone.
If only life was more like the books
where the story is so interesting, I am instantly hooked.
Where I could skip to the very last page
and see, ahead of time, all of my mistakes.
