A Poem - If life were to give me another chance

 If life were to give me another chance

I'd say, give me back my feet to dance

The melodies of life have worn out my soles

My mind is weary, my heart has holes

I have lost my will to live in this hateful world

Drowning in sorrows, paining at words thrown

If life were to give me another chance again

I would never love you so much that it pains

The pains of parenthood, I wonder why?

Alone and sad, I am but a lonely sigh

Four walls of the room close in so often

Winters are cold and there is no autumn

If life were to give me another chance to choose

There would be so many things I'd refuse

Old age for one, in these ungrateful days

Your hateful thoughts, your devious ways

Your selfish demands when she came to stay

I knew that day, you wished I'd go away

If life were to give me another chance to cry

Lost moments, dreams, hopes to touch the sky

Suicide thoughts that have crossed my mind

That right person, the right day, I left behind

Quitting and cribbing when it was time to fly

Opportunities, challenges, now just a sigh

If life were to give me chance once more

I would not be lying alone in the morgue

An unknown soul, dead to the world

A story untold with no rhymes, no words

I'd ask for life to relive again

Without worries, without pain

If life were to give me another chance once more

Everything I said before, would go out of the door

I'd be who I am, say what I feel and do as I please

Climb mountains, fly the skies and cross the seas

Maybe I'd be on a crazy roller coaster ride

And life would be screaming, I'm by your side

If only life were to give me another chance once more......
