Give Me My Chance to Shine

by Carmen   Feb 20, 2005


Why do you judge me,
just by what you see?
Do you even know what's within,
What's underneath this skin?

Is it my hair,
Or the clothes I wear?
Is it my face,
Is that the case?

Can't you see my pain,
How I struggle to stay sane,
When you degrade me,
Just upon what you see?

How could you do this?
I know I wouldn't be missed,
But is my life
Worth being taken by this knife?

I try to be nice,
But I'm just like spice;
Some like it, Some don't;
Giving it a chance, most won't.

Please just listen,
Give my chance to glisten.
Let me show you what's inside,
Let me come out, so I no longer have to hide.

    Not bad, not bad, but some of the rymes need work, try rewriting a few lines here and there. 4/5
