If lies were currency,

You would be rich.

If 'second chances' were water,

You would be drowning.

If mistakes were lives,

You would be immortal.

But what is wealth,

Without family?

Who drowns

And doesn't try to swim

Up to the surface?

What is the point of living forever,

Without the ones you love?

Snap back

Into reality.

Right your wrongs.

Look death,

Loneliness,

Failure,

Regret,

Hate,

In the eyes.

Show them…

Show them who mercy is.
