Summons

I said it once and I’ll say it some more
I’m well aware that I’ve been here before
what was I thinking when I decided to return
what lesson didn’t I learn what bridged did I burn
how old is my soul and how far will I go
I wake up every day in a different way
either I’m hot or I’m cold
baffled by the scenes in my dreams
faces I’ve never seen before
people who I just don’t know
places I’ve never been before
place that I’ll probably never go
in this life but sure that I have before
what do I have to give
why did I come back to live
what is it that I have to do
why do I not have a clue
why did I choose to be chosen
why do I keep coming back
I wonder have I ever had a heart attack
stabbed shot are killed in crash
was I ever white or was always black
man, women, mammal, reptile
did I read the fine print on the contract
will I complete or fail the mission
is it impossible
was it impossible
in my past life?
in my past lives?
