the second chance

He told me I was beautiful
He told me I was smart
He told me if I went with him
Life wouldn't be so dark
He told me that he knew
About the tears I cried
He told me that he saw
Exactly how I died
He said it wasn't by a killer
And it wasn't just a huge mistake
It started when I was younger
That day that life had left me
And all hope had gone away
It was the day I finally gave up
And I forgot to stop and pray
He said I played it nicely
Though I wasn't quite sure what
He said he liked my smile
Even though he know it wasn't real
And for the first time in a while
I laughed
Not faking
Not trying
Just being real
I'd finally made him happy
I thought my life was finally done
He turned to me and smiled
The said "but you've only just begun"
With a snap of his fingers and a bright light
I soon awoke to an amazing sight
I was young again
With the knowledge of a previous life
How not to live, but how to fight
I grew up again
With all the same things
But different choices was just what I need
Life turned out good
No tears or lies
Just smiles and the occasional happy sigh
My second chance
My second life
With all that happiness that came from inside
