Second Chance
My tired heart rumbles like distant
thunder exploding in my soul
And all my emotions lose control at once
My thoughts are scrambled
in the maze and mayhem of me
And in the middle of the madness
I finally see the real me
Like peeling an onion
I peel away the layered scars
Removing stains and pains
Until I reach my own embryo cocooned
And waiting
For the emergence of my true birth,
a new self worth
I open these primitive eyes
to brand new skies
and my first new thoughts are
" Will I be loved this time. "
