Second Chances

The canvas of my memories,

Destroyed by my tears,

Was the last remaining torture tool

Of my roughly ravaged years.

 

I've been given a second chance.

Another shot at remourse.

A chance to get my life

Set on a tolerable course.

 

With a new pure white canvas,

Unscathed by my past,

I can go on living without

Regrets that will last.

 

The memories of my pain are long

Since behind me.

I have a whole new world

I have the chance to see.

 

Seeing through these untainted eyes,

I can see through everyone's hateful lies.
