It’s All Happened Before by Justin Zipprich

4/18/2022

 
You are not the first. It’s all happened before.
Your mother died when you were young but despite what you think, you are not the first.
It’s all happened before.
Your lack of a caring father led you into a life of bad decisions.
You are not the first. It’s all happened before.
You’ve filled your body with drugs, alcohol and regret but you are not the first.
It’s all happened before.

​A life of crime has earned you a home in a prison cell and certainly you are not the first.
It’s all happened before.
Thirty years of misery has finally brought you to a new comprehension, you are not the first.
It’s all happened before.
You can change your life because you’ve truly realized that you are not the first.
​It’s all happened before.
