thatonekid Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Your actions are your responsibility and can't be changed. I think... I was never a good interpreter of any literature. Sometimes poetry will remind me of certain moments in my life, but mean something 100% different Yes, that's a fair interpretation. In general, it's basically that you can't take back something that's been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
