Reinvention

Caught in an old trap
For too long
Down the wrong path
It becomes time . . .

To change to adapt
To heal to evolve

To estrange the old ways

To grow and to flourish

To reinvent yourself

Down a better path

To find in yourself 

A better person

To leave this world

A better place

Reinvented

Author's Note

Love Elvis. He is still King in my books. Now what's this here? Thought this sounded a bit like a confessional till I got half way down and then it appears in the final stanza to go down a different path altogether. Your words "To reinvent you", no mention of the word "me" there. And then I glance and see the author's notes. Are you really turning over a new leaf? Have you been having lessons? If so, I've got me duster ready to buff up your halo.

Elvis certainly is terrific.

...To estrange the old ways...
What a great way to turn a phrase.
It is to easy to get trapped in a loop.

[TerryDarcy-Ryan akaSh..]

Yes indeed. Every chance I get I should be the chameleon or maybe stronger like a super power.
Your words are strong a very wise write.
