Just another chance

Mistakes never offer another chance...if only we were allowed to reverse back and make everything right again, how much better everything would have been!

A blunder I had done

I swear out of ignorance,

In a wild state of mind

A decision taken unwise!

When impulse surpassed sanity

And my thoughts lacked clarity!

But what do I ask?

Just another chance!

 

Yet they lashed at me

Tormented me like hell

As though am a villain

A fugitive from the jail!

Glaring at me with spite

Loathing eyes with disgust.

Forcing me to plead mercy

And to grovel for sympathy.

But my ego couldn't

And my pride wouldn't

Permit me to break

Or allow me to beg

So they did as they pleased

Pouring out their venom

Cackling at my tears

Snorting after my fears

Pushing me to seclusion

Thrusting towards isolation.

But what did I ask?

Just another chance!

 

Thrilled at my fall

For once I had stood tall

Now my tears their mirth

Their victory in my plight.

But as humans we are

Is it not accepted to err?

What had I asked?

Just another chance!

But no they will not

Since they are spotless (?)

But once it may happen

That you may fall too

And they will hoot at you

Then what will you do?

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

If society gives sinners another chance, I believe the world would be a much better place to live in...here I speak thru' the voice of a sinner...since the lord said "Hate the sin, not the sinner"

I can so understand this.. I have always been reactive in nature and have recently been taught to breathe before making any life changing decision.. to fully absorb it and think it through.. You penned these emotions well..x

[Alana McGuire]

This is a really good write. And it's very true, none of us are perfect so we will continue to sin. But God loves us and will continue to forgive us, and if God forgives us, why can't people?

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

We are all human and make mistakes but so many people don't give others another chance when they have made their own mistakes... constant offenders are a different story. When we stereotype people cause of a mistake they will eventually do it again.

[Coyote Poetry]

All of us will fail at something. Negative words do not help. Need people around to allow mistakes so we can get better. I could feel the disappointment in the poem. I learn a long time ago. I don't pay attention to negative people. Thank you for the excellent poem.
