The Chance
When your given a chance,
To show the world who you are,
You better believe,
You'll feel like a star,
Just one chance,
Thats all it takes,
Make your life a little brighter,
Even with all the mistakes,
I have had countless chances in my life,
Trying to do what's right,
I graduated high school,
Isn't that cool?
But in today's world,
That just isn't enough,
I am no beggar,
I'm not here to plea,
I only know,
This chance has been given here to me,
Maybe I'll win your heart,
Maybe i did right from the start,
Or maybe I'm just a document,
Among thousands of poems we call art,
So when given such a chance,
As i am given today,
I will write and think,
I won't let it get away,
I am thankful it is here,
The Chance of a lifetime,
Small but dear,
I may be no writer born to amaze,
But this is The Chance,
The Chance to raise...
