What Chance

what chance did i have when inside i am broken 
what chance did i have when no warm words were spoken
second by choice, no more than a ghost 
shunned by the world when im in need the most 
what chance did i have when your forced to decide 
what chance did i have when im living on pride 
quick to make money and quicker to move on 
with a flash of a smile and then i am gone 
what chance did i have when im young on the street 
what chance did i have when im feel incomplete 
ive been down in the gutter, the lowest of low 
with a few treasured items, packed ready to go 
what chance did i have when my life is a lie 
what chance did i have when i cant even cry 
stone on the inside, a complexion of ice 
a chance must be taken 

SO PLEASE ROLL THE DICE.
