There comes a time when we all have to face our demons,
Well, mine seem to haunt me even when I am dreaming.
We can try to run but it is almost like we can never hide
From the secrets we hold deep down inside.
I always hoped I could snap my fingers to make things perfect,
Change my decisions so that I can say, "it was worth it."
I try to mend together the broken pieces of my past,
But I realize there is no need to fix something that did not last.
As I recollect my thoughts to see what I have missed,
Memories run through my mind like a screenplay.
I get to review all that I have dealt with,
Watching all the love, death, hate, heartache and shame.
As time passes by, we hope that we can forget
All of the things we have done that we might regret.
What we don't seem to realize is this is all fate,
What is meant to happen will, no matter how small or great.
I know I haven't been an angel my entire life,
But I don't deserve to get presented with strife.
I know I am human and I have made quite a few mistakes,
But I am glad because it has made me the person I am today.
