Analysis of Spirit Reborn
I have been wrong
more times than I’m right
Intentions misguided
in search of the light
Each time I have stumbled
each time that I’d fall
New chance for redemption
those voices on call
My pathway hard trodden
the ruts and the stones
Defining a journey
where wishes atone
Whose last steps once taken
though battered and torn
Emerge from the darkness
—my spirit reborn
