A Chance to Fight


In front of me is a path,

Full of broken people, ready to scathe.

I have no idea where I should go...

Should I follow the path that was already set for me, or the path the wind blows?

A dream job, a dream life...

Should I look to the light?

There is plenty things, what I could be...

A director, a doctor, a writer, a dancer, a traveler... a poet?

Do I know "it"?

Do I know what "it" is?

Should I hope for a life of bliss?

Freedom is all I ask for.

A chance to give my family more.

My unknown dream job... it would...

It would save me from questions of the "what coulds"

Like: "what could I have become...?"

If I had fought for a better kingdom?

I want to try...

I will fight! I will kiss this life good bye!

I will fight for a better life. I will turn to the light.

All I need is a Chance to Fight!
