The poem itself speaks to me. It has since I read it during my first Literature course in my freshman year of university. Something about the tone of regret and loss of someone so much older than I was then(though now it doesn't seem so far away) spoke to me about the way in which to live life. The way in which I could approach my life so that I too would not be full of regret. Say no to being timid. Say no to fear. Live life. Truly live it.
