Deja Vu

I've written this a thousand times. Rehearsed and reiterated my lines. Memorized them, now they're engraved in my mind. I've crumpled up this very paper and threw it at the wall.... Ten seconds later picked it up from the floor. Now I see the beauty in it I didn't see before. I've repented for these same sins and O' Lord here I am again. These are the same tears, I wept last week. I realize these are familiar words as we speak. This is the same awkward pause, a similar why and because. This is the very same glance I gave the walls. This is the same scream I yelled as I entered the hall. I've seen this before, I've seen this before. One thing has changed ...I'm not the same at all. Deja Vu .
