I Got One Chance

I got one chance to live my life. I got one chance to go through one tough fight. I got one chance to be a leader or a king Like Muhammad Ali was in the boxing ring. How am I going to do that? I'm not gone be no gangster nor dope fiend I'm gone win my championsjip ring. I'm mot gone fill ashame because I'm gone be in the world hall of fame. I got one chance to live my life and I'm gone live it right because I got one chance to live my life.

Ivan I have read your poems and although there is a lot of feeling in your chosen subjects, you're spelling needs a lot of work to make your poetry stand out. Also, you list them all as ABC form, and none of them are. Not trying to be mean, but what you write is a reflection of you and it sounds to me you are a guy with a positive attitude. As you say, you got one chance. Good luck.
