Reset

Bring back the beginning
Give me a fresh start
A life full of hope
An unbroken heart

Bring back the innocence
only found in a child’s eyes
Wipe away my tears
Take away the goodbyes

Let me forget my failures
and all the mistakes I’ve done
Give me back my first try
Let me start at square one

Take away my fears
Let me not be afraid
Remove them from my sight
Just let everything fade

Give me back my strength
Remove my self-doubt
Renew my spirit
Cleanse me inside-out

Let me be a stranger
The one you meet for the first time
Give me back my anonymity
When my life was at its prime

I don’t like how I turned out
Weak, maimed, and not free
When I look at the mirror
I don’t like what I see

This is my wish
A choice I will never regret
Let me be reborn
Reset. Reset. Reset.

    I hope you get your wish.
    I got mine and I regretted it.
    (I realized late that contentment is real important. It’s hard to start from where it all began.)

    Wow, that is a fantastic poem. You did a great job expressing how you felt/feel. I too am a writer so I can definitely appreciate this. Keep up the great work. I enjoyed reading it.

    Johnny, you’re writing exactly what I have been thinking these days. I need a fresh new start from the beginning. Be happy, be selfless again.

    It had a weird contrast to it, but over all it was made clearly…..Your “sonnet” of reset, was good but it was made without any arrangements.
