I tried giving life a second chance…

I tried giving life a second chance,

But my past doesn’t want to leave me alone,

It has a master plan to hound me,

I think till I reach my death bed.

I try to look at brighter things,

The good that happens to me,

But why is the dark shadow of past,

As always trying to eat me up.

I close my eyes,

Hoping to close my past,

But when I open,

That is all that I see has last.

When I think of a master plan,

It fails me always,

I try and run away,

But I find myself strangled and breathless.

I tried giving life a second chance,

But the life refused to take it,

It brought me back where I started,

To the point when I gave up!

I still tried giving life a second chance,

But it turned me down.

So much so that I can’t fight anymore,

I want to look beyond, but I fail to do so.
