To Be Reborn Anew...

To Be Reborn Anew

To experience failure
waiting to exhale.
all my secrets are floating
to the surface.
I'm drifting, but, not to sleep.
It's hard to deal with death
to put it in its place,
crying on the inside, off
merciless destruction
deprives me of a peaceful mind
to keep focused
tune everything out.
Trying not to descend beneath,
the cold dark waters of death.
Each precious breath escaping slowly,
allowing all the disappointments,
dissolve in the bubbles of destain.

To be reborn anew.

waiting to exhale. all my secrets are floating to the surface. crying on the inside, Trying not to descend beneath, allowing all the disappointments, dissolve in the bubbles of destain. These are the lines i liked very much in your poem. Yes a new birth is needed, a change, a needed change is needed Jesus told Nikodemus „You should be born again“ Lovely poem dear Annette
