My Second Chance (annahmbui)

My Second Chance

My heart had been filled with sorrow,

For a long time had no path to follow,

Joy, love, happiness had to borrow,

My face always had a furrow.

I'm not sure if it's my designated fate,

That I'm almost always late,

Finding myself always in a bate,

But my life I couldn't hate.

Everything seemed to be a balloon,

Ready to burst any time soon,

And any time I looked at the moon,

With hope my heart would it swoon.

I felt so broken, so shattered,

I had really been battered,

Fighting for things, for people that mattered,

I was completely tattered.

Though dim was my light,

I still believed it could be bright,

And try with all might,

Was I willing to fight.

Broken, yet lucky I was to get a second chance,

Strong and firm was my stance,

Like a warrior holding his lance,

'cause life had given me a second dance.

My second chance was a person,

Pushing on gave me a new reason,

Renewed was my season,

To my life never again commit treason.

I was lost, but me had he found,

To him was I completely bound,

For his confidence in me was a mound,

My new standing ground.

Everyday he'd offer a whisper of hope,

That for life I shouldn't mop,

And though sometimes life would be a slope,

With him I would never flop.

For once life had been kind,

Clear now was my previous tattered mind,

Sure that my path I'd always find,

And any challenge would I grind.

He was my color maroon,

My second chance bright as the moon.
