One More Chance

ONE MORE CHANCE

 

SOMETIMES I WISHED I WERE INVISIBLE

I FIGURE IF NO ONE COULD SEE ME

MY SECRET WOULD BE SAFE

 

I HAVE HAD THIS SECRET FOR A WHILE

AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WOULD KNOW

THAT I AM AN ADDICT

WHO HAD REACHED AN ALL TIME LOW

 

OH, DON’T GET IT TWISTED I CARRIED IT WELL

NO ONE KNEW MY LIFE WAS A LIVING HELL

 

I BOUNCED AROUND FROM DOOR TO DOOR

ALL I WANTED WAS JUST ONE MORE

ONE MORE HIT, ONE MORE BLAST

KNOWING DAMN WELL IT AIN’T GONNA LAST

 

THEN IT HIT ME LIKE A BRICK

WHY DO I KEEP DOING THIS SHIT?

 

I PLAYED THE GAME, I PLAYED THE ROLE

MY WHOLE LIFE WAS OUT OF CONTROL

 

I BEGGED, BORROWED, LIED, CHEATED AND STOLE

HUH, I EVEN TRICKED BUT NEVER HOED

 

CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT, CALL IT WHAT YOU LIKE

I WAS LIVING A TERRIBLE LIFE

 

SO NOW I HAVE YET ANOTHER CHANCE TO MAKE IT

YOU BEST BELIEVE I AM GOING TO TAKE IT

 

I AM GOING TO MAKE IT THIS TIME I KNOW

CUZ THIS DISEASE HAS GOT TO GO

 

ONE DAY AT A TIME THEY TELL ME

ONE DAY AT A TIME

 

SOON MY LIFE WILL BE BACK ON TRACK

DON’T LOOK AT ME THOUGH

I WON’T BE BACK

 

IT’S GOT TO GET BETTER

I WON’T LET IT GET WORSE

FOR I HAVE TO LET GO OF THIS HORRIBLE CURSE

Is this for a general topic? This would sound great for slam poetry.

Out of curiosity, were you going through a fatal illness or something? I hope you are better.

What is slam poetry? I never heard of it. Just wondering about its definition, exactly.

Thank you, It was how I was feeling.

  I liked this poem because I thought it was positive and inspirational.

Read my blog!

I am not suggesting that anyone changes. This really applies to me. It is a statement of how no matter how many times a person screws up God always gives us another chance to make life better. The progression for me is just that, going from a screwed up confused individual to the better and still progressing person that I am today. Just like many others have done and are in the progress of doing. Likewise I am not being rude.
