The bridge that won't burn
How can I make sense of all the questions?
Why not look at yourself from the outside?
If I look, I know I won't like what I see.
Thats a chance you're going to have to take.
I see trouble, lies and deceit. are these really me?
No, they're just how you've come to know yourself.
Is there any hope that maybe I can oneday change?
You are already changing, you see yourself smile.
I smile because I have something worth living for.
What? You didn't have a reason before? Why not?
I burned every bridge I crossed, some more than once.
Are they expendable, or irreplaceable, these bridges?
Two of them are my flesh and my blood, Mom and Dad.
Do you see any reconciling with them anytime soon?
I have to forgive myself before I can ask forgivess of them.
Can you forgive yourself?
Can I?
Yes.
