When I look back on my past self, I often find myself tormented. I don't often find myself reflecting on what was, or what could have been; I always try to focus on what lies before me. But every once in a while I will fall. I will think back to the horrors I endured in high school. I will think on those I have hurt, lives I have taken. Hearts... I have broken. And when I fall, I weep. I weep for days. I don't weep for myself.
I weep for those I will hurt in the future.

Your art is great.
Also, there is no taking back the past. The Past is there to showcase the orgy of evidence proving that you, as a person, aren't immune to making mistakes. You are stupid, powerless, and at the whim of circumstances, and you aren't in control. All you can do is make choices that mold you into who you become when you get older.
It stinks, but I think that all we can do is keep getting back on our feet, dusting ourselves off, and trying again. The damage is already done. And you can't predict when you'll make new mistakes that have even higher costs and uglier consequences. But you'll just have to deal with it when you get there.
