The First Time I Died

~

The first time I died

I saw my imperfections

I saw my life in third view

I could have done better

Swore I would

But I didn't

The first time I died

Time and life left meaningless

All to return to dust

The inevitable I wished to elude

The first time I died

I knew what hope looked like

I felt the hands of an higher power

My spirit prayed for another turn

Got a second chance

My fears came crashing down on me

The what ifs

What if I failed

What if I died without making a difference

This time I swear it would be meaningful

A promise I made

A promise I'll keep
