One Chance

you wanted the power to change life's painting,to take a brush and change the future,you
would try and come up short,the key word to the future is wait,wait to die,wait to
live,wait for an unexpected journey,your hopes and dreams are put on hold,lost ones stay
asleep with the painting over there heads,the wise sit patiently for a big possibility,to
wonder if colors lie,different choices carry different minds,did you hate the painting on
your wall, your eyes were closed when it was drawn
