Done (a poem)

The September 22nd prompt in The Daily Poet: Day-By-Day Prompts For Your Writing Practice, by Kelli Russell Agodon & Martha Silano, involves selecting a word, then using it as the title and/or first word of each line of the poem, making it at least ten lines long, if possible.

Done? No, not quite
Done pretty much what I want to, instead of what I should do
Done some things that still surprise me
Done dismissed some things before I had a chance to
Done everything right, but still wound up here
Done everything wrong—but still wound up here
Done forgot so much of what makes me me
Done ignored what I wanted because I thought she’d never love me
Done realized that that won’t get me through the night
Done? No, not quite
