He went to jail to pay for his sins, hoping it could change the life of a tiger he became, to be away from the errors of the past, hoping that he could be given a second chance to fulfill himself, hoping that one day he would be free from the dangers of time.
Stayed for days without seeing the sun, locked away in a dark boat with his sins to account for, he regretted his life, he wished he could travel back in time to become the hero he now thinks he should be, hoping for a magic to happen but a dreamer he was, locked up with the guilty memories of pains flowing down his nerves, just the perfect day to be with the dangers of yesterday. He was sentenced to few years in prison for armed robbery; he was stripped of his rights, and isolated from the innocent and helpless people.
Days and days passed by without anyone looking for him, no visits from family and friends, he was depressed and down, he was full of regrets for the past, what a life have I lived? What choices did I make to affect me this way? Hoping to find the answers in his mind but all fingers pointed guilt to hisface, down the call of a shame, his cry never accepted as being genuine, his pains felt with guilt, the mind of a criminal I guess.
When he was told he would be out of jail the next day, happy he was, glad like a bird freed from his cage, hoping he would be accepted by his loved ones, hoping for a second chance in life. On reaching home, he was looks down upon, he was seen as a criminal, he was painted in guilt, written in the faces of the people he cared for was hatred for him, he tried to seek solace at the bosom of his friends, but was pushed to the wall, he was neglected, he was abused, was this the change he need?, was this the family he had? A point that cannot be answered by oneself. Happiness long gone from his face, no joy for him, a black sheep trying to blend in with the rest.
In his sober, he was embraced by the hands of the people he hoped to change from, since he was not given a chance to explain himself by his people, he became the beast he wished to change from, at last he was shot death for the crimes he wished never to be part of again, just a shot took his life, just the silent body to view, featured on news a bonus to the police I guess.
Everyone deserves a second chance, no matter who and what the person might be, if we push them away they would end up doing things that we could have helped them abstain from.
We should learn to give second chances to others, to ere is human and to forgive is divine.
