One More Chance

To see the sun
In the lonely sky
To hear the birds
Passing by

To be the words
From someone's lips
To understand why
These scars border hips

To know the answer
For every question raised
To hope for something
That was never praised

To be someone
Everyone wants to be
To hand this story to
The younger version of me

To hold out my hands
And let myself into them
To know that one day
There will be blood on this skirt hem

To try and stop me
Before I get there
To finally know
That life is fair

To halt what I'm doing
And live for something
To have words to say
And never forget a thing

To go back in time
And find myself before
To make no mistakes
And never end up on the floor
