Too Late Now. Read Count : 116

I asked for this.

I made mistakes.

I deserved nothing less than this.

That's how I felt.

I made my decision.

I dug my grave.

No turning back.

What have I done?

Sitting here now I wonder.

Did I make the right choice?

Sometimes I still think yes.

I know it just started.

Feels like forever though.

The straps are starting to hurt my wrists.

My hair is soaked from the sponge.

I made my choice.

Knew the consequences. 

Chose anyway.

But that's not me.

I know that now.

I just need another chance.

But I see the executioner.

Hes by the switch.

His eyes say he doesn't want to.

Guess everyone knows their consequences.

They ask my last words.

My mouth opens.

I just need another chance.

I'm sorry.

They pull the switch.

It's too late now. 

It all goes black.

Then a light.

It's cold.

Born again.

Reincarnation?

Or the lords forgiveness?

Another chance?

This is it.

I dont know how this happened.

But this is a new start.

To not make the same mistakes.

To not cause pain.

To myself or others.

Now I know.

It's never too late.

To make a change.

You just have to start a new life.

I lived.

I died.

I fell. 

I recovered.

I can change my future self.

But my past. 

Can never change.

Too late for that.

Too late for the past.

Only time for the present.

And the future.
