What do you think of my poem?

Question

senior year

i look back on these years with regret now
as i never have before
all the people i met
i never really got to know
all the things i could do
i never did
and its too late now
this part of my life is over
gone forever
opportunities offered me here
will never come again
i wasted so much time here
doing nothing
or things i could do anytime
but the things i could have done
the friends i could have made
the memories i could have shared
are slipping from my grasp
i guess they have been for years
i just never really noticed
or never really cared
until now
but whats the point its almost over
i try to make up for lost time
but in the end its too late
ive missed out on so much
and its all my fault
i shouldve done more
always held back
by something
or someone
i look and i see everyone in their place now
talking, laughing with their friends
they've known each other forever
they're in their place
a place i so wish i had
a place that was offered me so many times
by so many people
yet i never took it
why i never took it
i will never know
because i want it more than anything now
but who am i to say that
after all these years
i don't deserve it
i had almost 15 years to take it
go there
with my arms wide open
but i never could
always held back by
pride
or guilt
or obligation
or shyness
or self hatred
now where am i?
miserable
on the sidelines
never really part of the circle
standing there
like a pathetic beggar
wishing i had a home
or i am alone
quietly hating myself for all the years
and the friendships i missed
that i can never have again
it went by so fast
i always thought i'd have another year
another month
another day
but soon i will no longer have that
if i had one wish
before i leave this place
my friends
i would want them to know how much i like them
and how much I hate myself
for not showing them
because i worry they don't know
and that will be their last memory of me
yet they probably never will know
because i am weak
but
maybe you still like me
and maybe there is a final chance
but i feel that every step i take
every minute that goes by that chance gets so much smaller
and it breaks my heart
that we will go on
and never be friends
and none of you will know what you meant to me
but it is what i have earned
my years of apathy
have brought me to this lonely place
and all i can say to you kids is
have fun
make friends
make memories
because
if you dont
high school
and everything that comes with it
will be gone
forever
and you will regret it
as i do now
if you do not
i fear
you will have a cold, sad, and lonely
senior year

Answer 1

Answer 2

I think you should learn from your own words . Make the most of every minute you are here on this earth. We only have a short life span, you see how fast it passes. Don't let another opportunity to make a friend go by Learn something new every day. Do something for someone every day. do something for yourself eveyday. Thank god everyday for putting you here and make him proud for doing so. No more regrets. No fear
