SECOND CHANCES

I looked down upon the ground
While I stood on the cliff, high
I could almost touch the sky
But no, I had to fly

My heart skipped more than a hundred beats
I just couldn't let go of the ground beneath my feet
Till the wind pushed me

And I fell and I fell, Down into a never ending abyss
Hoping that my wings wouldn't be so scarred
Too scarred to fly, And as time went by
I was wishing that I had jumped on my own
I wish I had used the wings I had grown

But the fallen stars told me different
For they mended my wings
But they left the scars
And they told me, that there was a place in the sky
A place meant for me, when I'm ready to fly

And just like that, I got my second chance
A chance to jump, on my own
To show the fallen stars that I had grown
To rise above the deep abyss

I had lost hope on my scarred wings, but I rose above it all
And only now I realize, it was all because of the fall
