You’ll never get another chance

Is what they always said

 

Live quick, live fast, live here and now

Until the day you’re dead.

 

Don’t stop and think

Just look, don’t blink

Or you might waste it all

 

You’ll never get another chance…

So take the jump

Don’t mind the fall…and…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You fell.

                You fell so hard your bones were aching

                                Heart was pounding

                                                Mind was racing.

 

You’ve fallen

                With Cold steel tracks beneath you

You’ve fallen

                With Dark jagged branches surrounding you

 

A frigid wind whips across your face

and

 

as you cry out

the wind howls

and

 

 

as you search the sky

the clouds darken the moon

 

 

and

as you stare into the unlighted, flowing waters

You cast out your soul and plead

 

                                                                                                                               

 

 

 

 

and the river flows

 

 

 

Life is fickle, that’s the beauty

That not all will see,

If you fail and break down,

You’re not yet all that you can be

 

In life, I’ve found Romance in The Second Chance.

 

 

 

 

You are brilliant

And

Life is more than just one race

And

Life is more than keeping pace

With those around

 

 

 

 

 

 

Perhaps, what you forgot

 

is who you are

and who you are not
