To be born again

 

I am [[36]] today, and I want to be born again.

I want the counter to go to zero and start anew —

Fresh, with a whole lifetime ahead.

It makes no sense, logically.

For what I have is only the rest of my life.

But this is about me —

Living in a world where every life seem to be set at 23.

And you're far behind in every dream you once had.

I may have another 36 years, if nothing untoward happens.

Then I will be as old as my father is today.

If I were to start from zero, what would I do?

I have got another 36 years.

I should have 36 years of [[Wisdom in Lessons]]

The wisdom floating in the ether isn’t as useful.

The discipline that I need to absorb it, I lacked.

The learning is now, for my bones and skin strained with folds

Of decisions made for sleepless nights.

[[Discipline]] starts with succumb, submissions

And I am here today.

I may learn something now, finally.

The sadness and anger aren’t worth it.

There is still time.

I have made mistakes.

And now they are mine.

If greatness takes another 30 years, I will live till it.

And I will start today.

I want to be wise.

And now is the time.

I will be born a wise man.
