One Chance
You have one chance to make it to the top, and you must fight with all the courage that you have got, you have one chance to make it to the top and you must keep focus and remove the entire obstacle out of your way and know everything that is happening each passing day.
And when the wind blows hold on to your dreams and pursue your goals and don’t let bitter words push you through the door, life was made to live to the fullest so continue your journey and heaven will do the rest; take chances if needs be and crawl back to safety if you falter, wipe your hands on your sleeve and hold on to your dreams.
I have dreams like you too and I have to work, day and night to make them come true, I walk, I study, I draw, I read and I write all night just to win the historical fight and I have developed some new tactic to help me cross over the precipice.
I locked five fingers into five fingers and bend my elbow to strengthen my back and my shoulders; I hold my back straight as if I was leaning against a gate and I stretch my feet out and do a military shout and I watched them marched towards the roundabout. This is my only chance and it will not happen again and so I have to lift the bar higher and walk with honor.
Chances were made to take, so build your faith around your dreams and remove the obstacles from the mountain and sit by the quiet stream and watch the water flow and get in touch with the pinnacle of your soul, eradicate all the bitter feelings that doesn’t conforms with current nature and let your ego go, so that you can breathe fresh air and speak with power from the stage. This is the best chance that you have in life so stretch out your arms and hold tight to your ambition.
Yesterday I stood behind the fences and observe the angry faces stirring up the village brawl, tall men arguing with tall men and desperate women seeking new friends, it is the kind of argument that you don’t want to hear, and one that is packed with fear, they were having angry fist over a single fried fish, the gate was open and but no bread was baking in the oven.
There was no flour to knead the dough and the royals could not attend the show, but someone else was there that brought the audience to their feet and cause them to shout and scream.
Take chances in the morning, at noon and in the evening and at midnight, you will make your sorrows light; launch the final leg of the show for this is the only chance and you will make it right; lift my chances up to skies and kiss me before you say good night.
The stars are shining bright and I will take my chance on you tonight.
