Premium Member Enjoy Life, We Only Get One Shot
We ascertain pleasure in reliving our past,
Though lurking matters often bankrupt our day;
For that portion of living in chronicles is cast,
This content can't change much to our dismay.

We justify retrieve as value to years emerging,
That beyond this day's history we will refrain.
Our subconscious is active with incessant urging,
For it realizes we shan't pass this way...

One Shot One Moment
One shot, one moment, what does that mean
Embody the new, or remain what is seen
Transcend the critics with the motive for green
What we concoct requisite is what we’re committed to 
Destroyed or developed, that commitment defines you
Expend your time and suffuse your ambition
Talk with actions, so no one can’t listen
One shot, one moment, spotlight on...

Bang, bang, bang, Fireworks galore 
People running shouting ''WAR!!'' 
Innocent dying its, uncalled for 
Families crying for their loved ones no longer more ... 
Babies crying dont know, what for 
Not knowing what's next instore 
People walking with fear out the door 
AND HERE I AM wanting TO...

One Shot
If we ever meet
If you ever see me 
     Where shall I stand?
     Where shall it be?
From dreams deep and dark I dreamt
Frequently during night and day I visit it
     More times than you will ever know
     More often...

One Shot
This is life.
Wake up and smell the gunpowder.  
Spin the chamber, pull the trigger.
One shot.
Click.  Silence.  
And just like that, 
I win what I already had.
An opportunity to continue breathing. 
Thank god.  
I guess.  

This is just life.
I want to feel it the way I used to.
When one shot was...

One Shot To Fame
Hungry
starving for a chance 
gotta make it
gotta do it 
this is it
final option no turning back
will I fail 
or succeed
don't know
won't know
until I try
might make it then again maybe not
who knows 
no one knows
Jesus knows
have to put it
all on him and believe
with that said
gotta take this chance
might not get another one
this is it
I'm going for...

One Shot
I blew it last time
Now it’s on me again
She put it on me to win
Can’t handle the pressure
Always choke on the stroke
Man up, change the focus
Open my heart
Open my soul to my goal
My aim, to bring fame
To you and I as one name
Back to the clutch time
Victory on my mind
Concentration solely on penetration
Maneuver with deception
Providing...

One Shot
Identity of the unknown,
Travels down a narrow road.
Misjudged and scared,
But he couldn’t hold….
Emotion from controlling,
The one thing in life he admired, and loved.
But it was taken away,
Within a single day,
He couldn’t withhold fear or depression.
So he used a weapon,
As an impression.
On that man, that very day.
He shot him then he turned away,
From life and love...

Splashing Strange Memory At One Shot
Splashed an incident from my psyche all off a sudden ...
which was submerged deep in my sub-conscious mind.
Let me apprise you a short memoir of my past~
I was studying in school exactly a decade ago..
during which I had to witness the death of my graceful neighbour 
who possessed one boy and a girl baby.
She killed...

One Shot
Both truth and lies.
Resides in darkest white.
Stays in solitude.
In need of none.

Until someone came in.
Changed the very core.
Shaded with dazzling colors.
The someone became everything.

Lived happiness with sorrow.
Shed tears with joy and pain.
Lived with it.
Settled with it.

Broke a promise.
Reflected with guilt.
Took all the blame.
In agony of apologizing

Now in the edge.
Felt empty inside.
Scared of losing someone.
Still hoping....

Jack's One Shot
Jack was on the baseball team,
But he never got to play.
One day, he got his chance.
He went up to the plate and hit the ball, CRACK!
It went so far that it hit the fence and went smack.
He ran all the way to third,
But in his ear was a bee.
The bee just kept his calm buzz.
Jack...

One Shot At Glory
J-ust one shot at glory, 
E-arly morn twelfth of May;

B-ecause of your true faith, 
U-se your determination.

C-rown of life in the holy city; 
I-t's a must-win situation,...
