Born Again

If I had the chance to be born again to someone new,
I would take the chance after my first despair

The next despair, the next, and the next,
I would beg to be born again

But it is not long when you start to see the spoons around you;
Because after innocence, comes the understanding

It might take many tries, 
I tried,
Many or little tries to see the despairs of others

Seeing them makes me feel myself,
lucky I am

Then if I had the chance to be born again,
I would know to look around first
