Stuck in the mess <br />of our mediocre lives <br />Not knowing how, <br />or when, or why <br />it's broken. <br />Yet we're the stick in the mud <br />jammed against <br />our own will <br />Hope trails off <br />like the dreams <br />that are now transparent <br />Want it, yes, need it, now <br />give it, our second chance <br />one more try to climb our rut <br />and bask in the heavenlies <br />of the hope <br />stuck within us <br />Hope can be a word <br />or The Word <br />altering in the midst <br />of blinded faith <br />Will today be <br />a time of blooming <br />or a day of decay<br /><br />Trevor Schulte<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/second-chance-13/
