A new deal

Let not the storms of life

drown you in stagnate water

look within, discover self

push towards tomorrows

toss aside sorrows.

Let not a second pass

with remorse, change your heart

witness around, see at last

no past.

These thoughts, appear as words

just like a bird, perched

singing, spreading joy

may they help you feel

become capable of spreading your wings

you owe to yourself

a new deal

so lift head high

it’s not meant to look down.
