Just One Chance

Always been that girl.

"Stupid, worthless, nothing"

Daddy was never happy, the drugs made me free.

As he laid on top of me, I dreamed of more.

"Only angels can fly and you're far from that"

Put my head down and let him have me. 

Screaming no more, lost my wings. 

" I'm done being nothing" 

Flushing the drugs, forgetting the pain.

No more Daddy, pushing him out the door. 

"I'm beautiful"

Got the grades, 

Picked myself off the floor.

"I'm strong" 

My body fights itself

The seizures destroy my dreams.

"The Air Force can't accept you"

Now I'm that girl,

"Twitchy" 

Yet, I have the grades,

I have the brain.

I can do anything and everything.

" I am me

and thats perfect."
