All I Need Is A Second Chance


All I need Is A Second Chance

 

I am the lost the soul

casted to the island,

I am not forgotten,

but merely abandoned,

 

As the crew ships yell about in their glee

I will stay silient on my island so lonely, 

Twiddling with sticks in the sand of my memories

I wonder if the crew will ever remember anything good of me,

 

I know that I am not one of them

I cannot pull the fish into the ship, 

I know the crew wishes for me to try

And I know my body won't comply

 

I know my strengths

I know my worth,

I am not the crew member

I am the guider,

 

All I need is a second chance,

Let me come upon your ship 

Let me guide the wings, 

Let me guide the ship to the mainlands,

 

All I need is a second chance,

All I need is to show you I am one with our society,

Mangled and weak from depression and binge-eating,

Let me show you I can be one with my family,
