Another Chance

A wounded soul stumbles through life
Spurned by the world he screams in anger
Engulfed in darkness he suffers in silence
Battling with his demons he is losing but doen't care
At the bottom of a bottle he tries to end his misery
But even fails that
His suffering doesn't go unnoticed
His destiny is crossed with another and
Is given a second chance
Spirits high he changes his ways
Pleased with his change
He is given two angels to his care
On top of the world
There is an air of invincibility about him
Blinded by pride he abandons his faith
And starts to spiral down
The throne begins to crumble once again
Back to the glass house
To numb the senses and the heart
Wallowing in self pity he forgets his gifts and
Slowly slips back into his wicked abyss
An angelic voice penetrates his murky chasm
Jolting him back to life
Reluctant he answers the call
His angels appear and reach out to him
Immediately embracing them he breaks down
And asks for forgiveness
Their infinite love begins to to heal his broken spirit
Once again on top of the world he tries desperately
Not to forget his faith
Every chance he gets
He gives thanks to his higher power
For what he has been given
Even to the pain and despair
For if he had not traveled such a hard road
He wouldn't have appreciated  
The other chance and the two angels
That he was given
