Rebuilding

Worse than failure
Darkness
Plans gone
Hopes crushed scattered
All destroyed
Reputation, family
Career, Community
God
Scum
No reason suffices

No excuse
Nothing to say
I did
I was wrong
All turn away
I pay

Responsibility taken
Personal corrections made
Years pass
I am all I wasn’t
The man I always
Dreamed I might become

Rebuilding
Career-retrain, confidence
Reputation-head high, no excuses
Mercy for all
Family-apologized
Walk on in love
Community-involved, careful
God-better now than ever before

Years pass
Happy, sincere, responsible
Trustworthy, friends
Power
Careful walking
Taking care of me

Built anew
All I might be
New plans
Light
Horizon and
Life.
