This Is Your Chance

I am not proud to admit that I served 7 years in prison for a supply charge. Sometimes it is easier to have no one who cares...saves a lot of pain.

 THIS IS YOUR CHANCE….

 

I’ve had no money to make a call

I’ve had no mail, no mail at all

Forgive me for my state of mind

I look to the future but my eyes are blind

I search my heart and try to find

A reason, an excuse to justify

Why I made your brown eyes cry

 

Perfect love has come so late

And I could never clear the slate

I love you more, that you will ever know

And because of this I must let you go

Seek a life outside of me

I have nothing to share but misery

 

Why should you hold my hand?

My only love, I must make a stand

I’ve ruined my life, but I won’t ruin yours

I belong, to all my whores

How could I ask, for your trust?

I fill myself with disgust

 

The irony of what I’m trying to say

Comes from my heart­–

in a self destructive way

I’ve never loved, like this before

And love like this, will visit no more

I must put you first, ahead of me

I’ll destroy myself, and set you free

 You deserve so much more my love

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
