New Beginnings

New Beginnings

a group poem by the writers of

Pod __

New beginnings are the intro to the next chapter

They are the mark of the beginning of the end

And the place where new life begins

I want a new beginning

But I'm doubting myself

Life I was living wasn't ending

I'm stuck in my old ways

God came to help me but

Then I turned him away

A new beginning, a new beginning

When does it stop

Don't you worry it starts at the end

New beginnings can be garish

While new beginnings can be harsh

New beginnings is a way to start

Like when something dies in your life

You get sad and think of the past

relishing the moments you once had

I thought my life was over

Because of the things I've done

Just remember it was never fun

The burden is what takes you down

Inspiration will pick you up

At the end hope for the best

So much has happened long before

I was marched in through the door

It's part of me and I cannot say I didn't

Cannot say I forgot

I must face my awful past

My awful crimes are out at last

But there is hope and I know

That this is the place I must go

If I am to begin anew

Knowing they don't hate me

Knowing they will give me another chance

Of what I have broken in the past

I have another shot

To be a different me

And not stay here and rot

But now I'm here to make a change

It will work out if I'm willing to switch

And know I'll walk out not acting like a witch

The work we put in

Are the results we get out

Trying for accomplishment

Plant the seed of life

Bloom your deepest dreams

It all begins with light

Goodbye to my callow ways

Goodbye to my infamy

Say hello to a happy new year

The closing of a chapter and the opening of another is a new beginning

Though it may not be what you had in mind

All hidden messages come in time

Feeling stronger is the one that withstands

All creation is made for a reason

We call this, New Beginnings
