Poem 11: Take The Chance

 

Take the Chance


They take it all away

your life and your pride


 
blame them all for now

while hurting inside



you think: no one cares for you

what happens to your life

they see: you could do anything

when you'd rather die (fear)

so why even try (fear)



you find nothing worthwhile

no reason to smile



you spin,

sinking deeper now

what a rut you find yourself in



Can you get out?



You're able, you wait

but it's all in your will

you must work just a little

to stand back up straight



it's fine, take your time

reach the front of the line



free what's been bound,

rebuild what's been broken

reach for the top

never stop hoping



\ This is your chance \



you were the victim

you were in pain

you can take those rights away

breaking free from every chain



\ restoration... \



finding who you really are

healing wounds = triumphant scars

they try to take it all away

it won't work this time, no way



Live your life, don't fall again

Living pays off in the end



though doubts cross your mind

you can make it stop for good

break the enemy's back

like you never thought you could



just put your hand in...

let your heart race

you may see the joker

but you could find the Ace



\ You must not give up\

\ you must live \

Poem 31: Waiting

Waiting You stand, at the door of myself. You wait, knowing I know. You heard, my voice acknowledge... But now, there's no sight of me. ...
