One Chance to Be Me

by Lindsay   Jan 14, 2006


Today for a second i waited,
A pause that i needed to take.
Held tight were my eyes to the pillow,
Delayed was the motion to wake.
A moment was needed to listen,
To the silence that filled the new day.
A moment to be more decisive,
About a self that i want to portray.

Sometimes i wish i felt pretty.
Sometimes i wish i was more.
Sometimes i wish i could vanish,
Through a promising wide-opended door.
Sometimes i wish i felt needed.
Sometimes i wish it was true.
Sometimes i wish i could realize,
All the things that Ive needed to do.

But the wishes of maybe are countless,
And the hours do not disagree,
That time makes a habit of slipping away,
And there's only one chance to be me.

I'll always know when I'm tired,
And I'll always know each mistake.
I'll always know when I'm happy,
And I'll always know when I'm fake.
I'll never regret that which happens,
I'll never deny a good friend.
I'll never, on purpose, harm my own heart,
I'll be there for me in the end.
