second chance at life
July 29, 2013
How do you expect me to make it in this world?
A world so full of hate,
A world so full of lies and betrayal,
A world so corrupt it's almost impossible to live?
I know not your reasoning for this, but ,
GOD I ask thee . . . . .
Why am I hear!?!
Why this time and age?
Why haven’t you left me in the dust?!?
With all I have done wrong and all my mistakes . . . . .
How can some one as pure as thou love me?!?
How can some one as heavenly and perfect as thee forgive me?
Someone who is as stupid as I and worth as little as I. . . . .
How oh GOD, can you love such an idiot as I?
Someone who is nothing in the eyes of everyone else!?!
I stand here on the edge of this bridge, . . . . . Ready to jump.
I am waiting for your answer, however. . . . .
My mistakes and trials run through my mind and the more time passes by, the more tempting it is to jump.
I have waited long enough! . . . . . My thoughts finally take me over and I jump! ,but, . . . . .
Time stops as my body leaves the edge of this bridge.
I open my eyes to see my life flashing before them.
I see the lives I changed, the people I saved, the people I loved.
I feel all thy love at once and how wonderful it is.
Then I see what could have been and what I was capable of, . . . . .
I see my potential.
I see my world.
I see my friends and family as if from an angels point of view.
Finally I see the light of the world and the good times of the past.
As a tier drop hit’s the road eighty feet below, a flash hits my eyes and when I reopen them, . . . . .
I open them to you standing before me.
You hug me, put your hand on my shoulder and say all is well and tell me everything is going to be alright .
Then you snap your fingers and it all rewinds.
I’m standing once again on this bridge ready to jump and I have received your answer . . .. . I am unique and powerful.
I am me.
I step down with a feeling of great worth and continue my life as if it were a miracle, but, the truth is . . . . .
We are a miracle and if everyone saw what I saw that beautiful day the world would be perfect and pure.
I may never know why you gave me this second chance and this message, but i'll never ask why because all I have to say is . . . . .
Thank you for everything!
This is my second chance at life and I will use it wisely to say . . . . .
All you girls are beautiful!
All you guys are amazing!
I will use it to say . . . . .
We are great and worth so much to each other,
Yes we are all miracles . . .
We are ourselves.
