Imagine if Forgiven

Imagine if forgiven
In a way that only
Modern civilization could forgive
Imagine you are let out
Your debts wiped clean aside
Imagine you are whole again
No worse for all you've seen
Would you accept closure
Or attempt to go back to need?

Would you hold an airtight vessel
Strong and not to sink
But sail far beyond here
In treasures born of fate?

Can you integrate the answer
Hold and digest through
What you really needed
What you really knew?

Can you let this bad dream
Fade with morning sun?
Or are you in prison though
Your chains have been undone?
