Another Chance

At the helm,
over the bars,
leaning on for support,
crossing into the realm
of scars.
Looking to your positive company.

At the helm,
excluding the negative,
there is a difference,
between truth and necessary pain.
Overwhelmed.
Let us not be dispositive.

My eye lit with fire,
Your smiles so bright.
Filling your heart with delight.
Come, come, we be higher.
Come, let me make you completely pleased and free.
