Tales Untold, Roads Untaken
Reincarnation
In Life what hope is always unto men?
Stories of she that shall come again.
so many lives before I have been many things
only as a bird I learned to spread my wings.
threw many sinand lack of faith Who matter then?
What matter as, or how, or even when?
As a maincoon I lazed in the sun
Rolled on belly justfor fun.
This is the doom., Upon this blind black sky
even if I live and learn, or love and die.
How strangely familiar all that I see,
The swifting of the dancing tree.
but all is real...
If from the dim past I've come to this earth
god once more has givin rebirth.
-Kumiko Yamamoto
_i am so blocked lol XD
Now I'm old,cold and lonely
No lover,no friend or family
A complete wreck living in isolation
On the verge of insanity
No calls,no visits or gifts
Festivities are spent in gloom
Staring to the ceiling in total frustration
In my cozy room
Sometimes I let my thoughts stray
Pondering on why I ended this way
And unless I'm not sincere
The reasons are crystal clear
First I loved no other but myself
Now that's fair compared to my greed
Plus my congenital drive to lie
And my despise for others in need
I made enemies out of potential friends
Rivals from ready allies
Now where has it got me in the end?
Stranded in a junkie's paradise
If I was given the chance to start anew
I'll humbly forsake pride
Respect and love others as I love myself
And never abuse any substance
No lover,no friend or family
A complete wreck living in isolation
On the verge of insanity
No calls,no visits or gifts
Festivities are spent in gloom
Staring to the ceiling in total frustration
In my cozy room
Sometimes I let my thoughts stray
Pondering on why I ended this way
And unless I'm not sincere
The reasons are crystal clear
First I loved no other but myself
Now that's fair compared to my greed
Plus my congenital drive to lie
And my despise for others in need
I made enemies out of potential friends
Rivals from ready allies
Now where has it got me in the end?
Stranded in a junkie's paradise
If I was given the chance to start anew
I'll humbly forsake pride
Respect and love others as I love myself
And never abuse any substance

Second chance, I'd turn my back
though I've made a mistake or two
its not that I don't have my demons
in fact there's quite a few
but for all the years that I've seen
I still ended up with you
So if there ever comes a time
when this offer floats my way
I'll turn on my heel and head right home
cause there's nothing that I'd change
Second chance, I'd turn my back
though I've made a mistake or two
its not that I don't have my demons
in fact there's quite a few
but for all the years that I've seen
I still ended up with you
So if there ever comes a time
when this offer floats my way
I'll turn on my heel and head right home
cause there's nothing that I'd change

IF I COULD LIVE MY LIFE ALL OVER AGAIN
If I had a choice
My parents would not have been poor
If I had a choice
I would have been born a boy
If I had a choice
I would have nice siblings
If I had a choice
I would have inherited my mother's personality
If I had a choice
I would have inherited my Aunt's beauty
If I had a choice
I would have been a physician
If I had a choice
I would save humanity
If I had a choice
I would never make an enemy
If I had a choice
I would choose not to be emotional
If I had a choice
I would live a life of dignity
If I had a choice
I would finish my life with dignity
If I had a choice.....
