The poem "A New slate" is an original poem written by me to represent an old life of pain, guilt, and rejection that has been set aside for a new life of hope and joy, and making amends for the past vain years.
A NEW SLATE
I stood in the courtroom helpless and vulnerable
The weight of my Sins were heavy on me
I knew it was my end as I await the court's verdict
My crimes were too many, too much to be counted
I watched in shame as the crowd yelled for justice
They were right after all
I was never a saint, I was the reason for their pains
If this is what it takes to be a new man, I was ready to accept it as fate
The yelling continued as I bow my head awaiting a decision that will determine my fate
I saw the judge nod his head as he read through my file
I knew I had a few days to live, death would surely be the judgment
He looked into my eyes, and stared at me helplessly
"Do you have anything to say?", He asked me
"I accept every blame and I hope someday they're able to forgive me," I said
"He's guilty, and is sentenced to 6months imprisonment" the judge said
I opened my mouth wide, I knew this was grace"
I knew it was an opportunity to live a new life
A New slate was offered to me to rewrite my life anew and make restitution for the past

El poema "Una nueva pizarra" es un poema original escrito por mí para representar una vieja vida de dolor, culpa y rechazo que se ha dejado de lado para una nueva vida de esperanza y alegría, y enmendando los últimos años vanos.
UNA NUEVA PIZARRA
Me paré en la sala del tribunal indefenso y vulnerable
El peso de mis pecados fue pesado sobre mí
Sabía que era mi final mientras esperaba el veredicto de la corte
Mis crímenes fueron demasiados, demasiados para ser contados
Miré avergonzado mientras la multitud gritaba por justicia
Tenían razón después de todo
Nunca fui un santo, fui la razón de sus dolores
Si esto es lo que se necesita para ser un hombre nuevo, estaba listo para aceptarlo como destino
Los gritos continuaron mientras agacho la cabeza esperando una decisión que determinará mi destino
Vi al juez asentir con la cabeza mientras leía mi expediente
Sabía que me quedaban unos días de vida, la muerte seguramente sería el juicio
Me miró a los ojos y me miró impotente
"¿Tienes algo que decir?", me preguntó
"Acepto todas las culpas y espero que algún día puedan perdonarme", dije
"Él es culpable, y está condenado a 6 meses de prisión" dijo el juez
Abrí mi boca de par en par, sabía que esto era gracia"
Sabía que era una oportunidad de vivir una nueva vida
Se me ofreció una nueva pizarra para reescribir mi vida y restituir el pasado
The old life of vanity is an accuser of the thoughts and feelings of a man. Until a man recognizes that he has outgrown it, his freedom is maladjusted.
Yeah, always an accuser. Until I man learns to tame it, he remains subjected to it. Thanks for your feedback
This here sounds like a rap line especially the word "I was never a saint, ready to accept my fate, determine my fate"
Love the word play

Its never easy being the one in your shoes at that moment, i know all to well... ive been far from perfect my whole life and didnt finally realize til i was 37 that this thing we call life is truly something special i and theres no take backs in life, we cant pause rewind or redo, only make amends for the wrongs weve done. I dont want to make this more about me than your poem i apologize i just caught in emotions and want to stress to everyone i see thats done wrong been wrong doing wrong or thinking of being... theres so much more life has to offer so i hope you took care of your issues since then and I hope you have a great rest of the week
Everyone has a past and most often we keep it behind and forge ahead. Unfortunately you caught emotion reading through the poem, I'm fine
What a reflection your writing, sometimes when we realize the things we do sooner or later we realize the mistakes and well the second chances always come for those who want to change, I appreciate that you have put this writing also in Spanish, hug =)
Rightly said, second chances come to people who are repentance of their past wrongs.
