Another Chance

I sat alone in my room,
holding the ultimate tool of my fate.
I'd been keeping it all inside,
forgetting to forgive and not to hate.
All this time I'd been so lonely,

But I wouldn't have anything left,
when this day was done.

Somehow I found the strength,
my fists clenched very tightly.
Then I put the gun to my head,
and pulled the trigger ever so slightly

Only to find that the gun,
no longer had any bullets.
And that God gave me another chance,
to live my life to the fullest.

Which hold us
Voluntarily
What illusion
So influences
A mind once so

Blood, chasing itself in my veins,
wants to catch up with ecstasy.
Restless crimson life,
