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.
