A favorite dress that got a stain

The grade which was unable to obtain

Lying on the beach when it starts to rain

The feeling when falling down the drain

High expectations which turned out too plain

No one to turn to when you wanna complain

Pushing too hard to hold back and retain

Emotions which one tries hard to contain

As we brood over what's defined as pain

Allowing the past to hold us back again and again

We tend to forget about the present that's main

Every moment alive here and now is a gain
