King's Dead
Maybe if I didn’t second guess myself
I would have walked down the other path
Where the streets were lined with gold
And I didn’t have to worry about who followed me home
But I have to accept that was my mistake
I always say I wish I could go back ten years
If I could I guess I would
I’d never wish for my parent's divorce or my own self-sabotage
But I guess that comes along with pain
Now that the King’s Dead, I don’t even know how to mourn
I wish I knew everything then that I do now
I would have been accepted into an Ivy League
I would have saved up for a car sooner
I would have been more patient and I would have been more kind
I’ve always known in a past life I was royalty
I had my own things of gold
I overthink and I regret
Now that the King’s Dead, I question what happened to her
Of course, I was young, but I wish I did things differently
I would have been more openminded
I would have kept up with gymnastics
I wish I took more risks
Now that the King’s Dead I mourn her
But I try to be the best successor I can be

This piece is something I feel many can relate to. It's about thinking over your mistakes and wishing you could go back and fix them so you could be better than what you are now. But realizing, you have to start and go from where you are now.
