One Chance

by Stephanie   Mar 15, 2008


Walking down this lonely lane,
A hundred miles,
Past insane
What is once known,
I cannot see
What I am,
And what will be

Is there something wrong with me?
That is the voice,
That ruins every single day
The negative I say,
That pushes everyone away

That is the voice that tells me,
I'm NOT pretty,
I'm NOT smart,
I'm NOT living,
Or loving for
It's these words

I get mad so often
My tears out to shame
My words of hate,
Keep calling my name

Along the lane,
I see a puddle
I just stand still,
And realize that I'm that girl,
That cries into the puddle
Who cries at her reflection,
Who cries for help
Help is within itself

Outside is a face,
But not my own,
With eyes hard as stone
A frown is a smile,
Turned upside down
But a face is just a cover
Isn't it?

I'm a different person inside,
I just hide,
That side,
Of me
I hide cause I'm scared,
Scared of who I am,
And who I will become

I really have a happy side
I love to laugh,
And to live
I just have a voice,
That says everything I'm not
Like that I'm not appreciated alot
That the world would be better off,
If I just died
That is why I hide

So give me a chance,
Just one more chance
To get rid of that fake voice
And that fake me
So that I can see,
That I am loved

One more chance
One more change
To get off this endless lane
And finally relieve myself,
Of my pain
