Second Chances

Sometimes we never know,
what we want.

The good, the bad,
the in between.

We reject what is good,
we want what is bad,
and want what we can't have.

We second guess ourselves,
creating doubt within.

Battling what our mind 
and heart say.

Trying to figure out
what we truly desire.

Sometimes we are graced
with forgiveness.

Someone willing to give
a second chance.
