Starting Over

I've known
a few
unsuspecting folks
who've been involved in
the most impossible
of circumstances.

Some
might have killed
another,
while driving home,
after a perfect
drunken night.

Some
might have gotten
caught up
in the most blissful
of binges
with their soulmate.

Some
might have decided
to let out
all of their frustrations
on all the wrong people.

The list
goes on
and on.

We all
have out intentions,
most
if not
all of them,
are pure.

Still, shit happens.

We end up
hurting those
we love the most.

We end up
so far
from our dreams
it's impossible
to sleep.

Still, somehow,
we must manage
to forgive ourselves
and move on.

Knowing our flaws,
yet forgetting them,
and getting
right back
on our feet.

Right back
to our dreams.

Right back
to the beginning
of hope.
