Conviction

A moment of sadness may suppress it,
But moments of madness can undress it,
To reveal the stage set for an act,
That traps the ones who can't turn back...
Some decisions arent just made,
They're just positions to be played,
Like pieces in a game of chess,
Until there's only one move left...
You may have to re-invent,
The start of what was your intent,
And stage the pieces like before,
But move in such a way that you're...
Free from what seems imminent,
And bend the rules which can be bent,
The choices that can be undone,
Are ones we can recover from...
Once you make the wrong decision,
It will become another's vision,
Face it truthfully with conviction,
And everything else will fall to prediction...
