Chances


Chances, are they really worth taking
Like the chance of a broken heart
Is it really worth it?
When only in the end
You feel only as if
You've been hit with a hot iron
That is now just lying down on your chest
While you feel the pain from the hit
Like the chance of an unsuccessful dream
Is it really worth it?
To feel that pain in the end
'Cause of the wasted years of your life
Trying to succeed in that one thing
That so many others have also tried and failed, as well
The question though is
The pain that we feel from
All these struggles in life
Is it really worth it?
I understand we only live once
But is it all really worth it?

I've been reading this book, 
lost in the life of this author...
I had to share some part of it...
so you can begin to know him...
Didn't even ask his permission
Must begin to share his story...
Please watch for more soon...
