Another Chance

Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds
~Gautama Siddharta~



Another Chance

Guided by circumstance
Facing the consequence
Sifting through the ashes of
The fires of my own self destruction

Stumbling into love, buried in hate
Seeking solace in numbness
A place in which neither
Could find its roots in my soul

High hopes, lost dreams
Good intentions
Shattered and scattered
Irretrievable in the wind

Broken promises, spoken confessions
Penance, amends, forgiveness, direction, concession
Through blood and tears and fear and shame
Surviving the unsurvivable

Laughing and crying and screaming
Burning in this fire
Cold, shaking
Opening, breaking

Waking...

Another chance to try again
