A Chance
A Chance
Everyone has a story . . .
No of which are the same . . .
Most of those that past through this place . . .
Are of sorrow and shame.
Is there a life without this heartache? ...
Without this pain?
I don't know how to live by me alone . . .
There was always someone to give me a home.
Never knowing how to live by me alone.
My road once traveled . . .
Had suddenly come to a halt?
Because of the decisions, I once had made.
Now no where to go . . .
It was me I had to face . . .
This person I had not really known.
Left to make it on my own . . .
Never did I expect to end up at this door.
I’m lucky to have been blinded . . .
By the reality of it all.
The future staring at me . . .
In it I must survive.
My heart knew how it felt . . .
There was no mistaken . . .
That it felt forgotten.
But something deep inside of me . . .
Was earning to get out?...
A feeling I now realized . . .
I could no longer hide.
I had no choice but to survive . . .
That road I once traveled . . .
I could no longer lead . . .
Not sure which direction I needed to go.
The first night I came here . . .
I said a little prayer . . .
For a piece of mind that someone was still there.
And at that moment I could’t believe . . .
A piece of mind had come to me.
I came to the mission without a choice . . .
But I left here with a chance of my own.
