Just One Chance

by Susan   Apr 20, 2012


I don't recognize the person I am today,
I don't remember the person I was yesterday.
This image I an unfamiliar I've come undone.
I look to the future to catch just a glance,
Of the person I hope to be if given just one chance.

I've neglected things and occasionally lied,
But I hope everyone knows in my heart I tried.
I swear for you I really meant to be someone.
Tried to love you all tried to make you see,
That somewhere inside there is a better image of what I can be.

If I've hurt you I apologize sincerely,
It's just I'm trying to find myself more clearly.
In today I wish I lived but it's in my yesterday.
I solimnly live and reside,
But by the grace of my tomorrow's I abide.

I'm going to sleep until I figure out
how my life can carry more clout.
Depression has overcome me in dismay.
but I remain lonely in hope of a glance,
Of the person I know I can be if just given just one chance.
