Can We Do A Retake?

emotions are the catalyst

when an old or new feeling exists

then doubt arises, the analyst

leaves you smiling or clenching fists

so you choose uprise or a sacrament

as easy as flicking a wrist

because nothing is an accident

to a self appointed realist

when gravity tries to pull you down

and change your brightest colors blue

there is no time now, to play around

here's what you've got to do

do a reset....

that's right, though it's ok to be mad

but, do this instead

you'll find it's always ironclad

JUST DO A RESET....

change the outcome and the mood

in this game of life, roulette

this time, it's finally up to you

to take the moment

and set the stage

no need for regret

employ the rage

and make a difference

you own this page

ignorance is NOT bliss

you've got the key - unlock that cage

and do a reset....

it's not too late

baby, you've got this

now go ahead and say your name
