Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Regret

I, a popular kid in school,

Could pick and choose the friends I had,

And tended pick friends as a rule

Who kept my image good, not bad.

So a self promoting clique, I

Led based on who I would let in,

Just those who were a gal or guy

Who played my game and let me win.

All of the kids in school knew me,

But I only wanted to know

My kind of kids, I trusted be

For with letting me run the show.

My time in school I do regret

Not seeking friends I never met.
