Changing the Past Contest

    Okay so I've noticed a trend in a lot of writing and I find that a lot of us write about wishing we could do something differently. Wishing we could go back and make right wrongs or go about things in the opposite way. So basically you can write whatever you want as long as it revolves around the theme "If I Could Go Back".

    That doesn't have to be your title but you must at least use it in the poem once, if it's your title than that's not necessary however. Other than that go crazy, have fun, let the emotions roll and make some art ladies and gentlemen. For now the end date will be November 30th, but it may change depending on submissions.

    I really want to do this...

    Does it have to say those words exactly? or can it have other words in it too?

    EX:
    If I could ONLY go back
    If I JUST could go back

    If I could only go back.
    What would I change
    the part where I lied?
    Told you you were the only one
    No

    Would I change the time
    I beat down your morality
    and allowed you to hate yourself
    for something I did
    No

    Would I change the way
    I handled your words
    and sobbed on the phone
    and took my blade
    No

    What about the happy times
    on the beach, holding hands
    smiling, under sun kissed canopies
    in the forest so green
    No

    Why change a thing?
    times have been hard, life has been great
    we've made our memories
    good or bad

    we are who we are,
    and we love each other for it
    mistakes are just that, mistakes
    so why dwell on the unchangeable

    This is life, live hard,
    ride fast, breathe strong,
    take chances
    no regrets
