Redo

Recitation of Expectation

By Thor Grey (G. Steven Moore)Published 5 years ago 1 min read

Redo

4/7/12

I call foul

I want a redo

Another try

To get this right

I wouldn’t do that

Or let this go on

I’d stop it

From happening

Who do you think

You are to stop me

Who do you think

You are to give me permission

I can do what I will

I don’t need you

To allow or deny me

I am my own

I call foul

I want a redo

Another try

To get this right

Whether on my part

Or yours

I want another chance

Another try to get things right

No strife

But with all the lessons learned

Can’t be

We must live with the agony

Yet we don’t need

The pain to go on

We don’t need

The hurt to thrive

I call foul

I want a redo

Another try

To get this right

I cry out quiet

For crying out loud

Is not my style

It’s for once in a while

I stand up

I stand down

I stray away

I go to find

I’m not a goof

I’m not a fool

I’m only here to be

Something more than me

I call foul

I want a redo

Another try

To get this right

About the Creator

Thor Grey (G. Steven Moore)

Since 1991, this compassionate writer has grown through much adversity in life. One day it will culminate on his final day on Earth, but until then, we learn something new every day and we all have something to offer to others as well.
