REBORN

When the world of illusion surrounds,

When in the pool of tears you begin to drown,

When butchered trust causes you to build an emotional wall,

When the thought of moving on begins to weigh you down.

When dreams, goals and hope all seems dead,

In the darkness when you begin to dread,

Where the hatred, deceit and injustice begins to spread

When the most honest souls begin to bled.

When your own guilt starts to overdose,

And fear begins knocking at your doors,

When you feel yourself as personifying failure,

When a malformed you collapse to be reduced to state of weeper and wailer.

Remember then, Oh sweet souls,

With the new morn, you will be reborn.

Reborn to embrace your regrets,

Reborn so you can forgive yourself.

Reborn to accept and tell yourself "Yes I am my mistakes",

Reborn with the maturity that your bad decisions gave.

Reborn in the suffocation of hatred and gossips,

Reborn to create a new identity for yourself amidst all this.

Reborn to finally let it all go,

Reborn with a peace in your soul.
