Another Chance?







A boy grew up

A hard life

Shown little love

Respect or praise



Was shown evil ways

Drugs and devious ways



He grew cold and bitter

In his old age

Never caring

Never loving



Now he lies on his death bed

About to die



In his last remaining moments

He starts to regret

Having never found

Or felt

True love or happiness



Will his soul be condemned

To walk in eternal darkness

And torture

Or

Will that one last moment

Of true honesty

Allow his soul

Another chance at happiness

To once again

Have the chance

To be the man

He was meant to be

Or forever be

The man that he is

Cold and bitter

Like a soul

Trapped in torture
