If you woke up tomorrow and had a second chance at one thing, would you take it? This would make an interesting survey. I'm not sure how most people feel, but for me, I'd like to think I would accept it and try to do it right. There are tons of moments in life where we would love a "do over" to make it right, or to come away from it for the better. I have two in my mind I'd like to redo or change the outcome. But here is a more interesting question, what if not getting a second chance was not only a learning lesson to do better on your end, but to also save you from something more fucked up down the road? Here is an example, say you get the do over and you do it not only right but better, but it ends up following through the same way or worse? To me that would be crippling to my soul, while at the same time showing me that all moments when it comes to relationships are two sided, and even if you control and fix one side, the other side will still be fucked the same if not worse. In my experience, second chances are rare. I know I've never had any, no matter how bad I would like one, It's just not a tangible thing. Like a dream of something you reach for that's always out of your grasp. That's where the idea of this poem came from. It's a grand dream that in reality either doesn't exist, or never turns out the way we want. But who really knows, maybe its the Vodka talking lol.
In moments past, I made a choice,
A path was taken, listening to heart's voice.
But now, with hindsight's guiding light,
I see mistakes that mirrored the night.
Oh, for a chance to rewind time's thread,
To mend the tears that I have spread.
To speak words that heal instead,
And bring back love that I've misled.
As our life moves forward fast,
No second chances will ever last.
Yet still I wish, with hopeful heart,
For one more try, hope for a brand new start.
