Chapter 58

Rerun

Darkness
Rejection
Anger
Despair

Come painfully in many forms
A gamble can be to win or lose
But not with the same chips or cards
There is a better way to choose

When you look at the persons outside
That is all you can see
It is what is inside that matters
Or you only get a fancy marquee

Bulges grow, things sag, wrinkles appear
Outer beauty evaporates with time
Is not the person trapped inside still
Who they were in their youthful prime

As the world burns around us
Each new day like the last
To stop living the same rerun
You need a different cast

Nobody
