Second guessing my second chances

Second guessing my second chances
Doubt returned with second glances
Upon life and I wonder am I worth this
With all the sin i've done
I wonder do I deserve this
Each breath I take for granted
As if they should last forever
Each day I walk upon this land
And step back just a little further
On the come up but yet I am still down
I want to yell for help
But my mouth won't make a sound
I'm in love with infatuation
No heartbreak no commitment
I despise my natural desires
They leave me helpless like an infant
If I were a star in the sky
I'd shine hoping someone would see me
Distinct from the others
I just want someone to see me
Not for who I am
But for who I shall become
For this person that you see now is a stranger
A persona I have yet to overcome
I wonder if were a million miles away
Would you remember my name
I wonder if a million years from now
Would you see my gain
