Reincarnation
Are you alive?
You took their love for granted.
You took your life for granted
You took your life
There’s nowhere to go
How can you smile again?
You look back, distraught
Distracted, disillusioned, destroyed,
Demolished, derelict, dead
How can you smile again?
You look around, confused
Avoided, bullied, ostracized
Ignored, rejected, repulsed
How can you not smile again?
Loved, cherished, and appreciated
For the life that have
And the bringing what you have life.
The simplest thing, love
Oh so simple
Sought after but forgotten as time goes on
You want to be happy
Oh so happy
But you forget everything.
You forgot about the people that love you.
You forgot what happiness means
You forgot what love does
You forgot what love is
But that’s okay
It’s all okay
Reset
You don’t have much
Make up for what live for
You can’t reverse the mistakes you made
The actions you take
But you can still start new
You can still smile
You can still be happy
And when you look back
After oh so long
Ask…
Are you alive?
