All I Need


All I need is one more try,

One more shot, to do or die.

With my back against the wall,

So it goes, sometimes I'll fall.

I'll rise up higher, fight back too,

I'll be ok, I'll start anew.

You can worry about what others think,

Worry about how far you'll sink,

Worry about possesions you're granted,

Think about all that's disenchanted.

It won't defiine me, but build me tall,

Giving up won't be my call.

You may see me break, see my cry,

But all I'll need is one more  try.
