Some people catch a chance
Make it big
Cash it in
And make their dreams come true

But for every hit
There's ten misses
For every love
Twenty hates

Life's a gamble
Either way
And I'm not saying that it's right
That some people find happiness twice
And others never
Find it at all

But God giveth and
He taketh away
Yet we still have faith
Because it's the only way
We'll make it through
Another day
Believing one more chance
Is always on its way
This is somewhat quick in pace within my mind, almost like a rap.

Faith doesn't necessarily mean in God. It can be in yourself, or others, or just faith that the sun will rise again tomorrow. Everyone's got faith, even if they don't know it.
A clock ticks and
The beating of a heart
Just a hair apart
Almost in rhythm

While the wind blows
Across the globe
Quite in the night
Unheard-of in the daylight

And all voices are silent
Except the ones inside
Trying to fall asleep
But too afraid to turn out the lights

There will be no rest tonight
Someone once said
That only once you've lost everything
Are you free to accomplish anything

Well I've lost everything
And I'm still waiting for my freedom
To find me

If I can accomplish anything
Why can't I go back to the way things were
before I lost it all?
Everyone breaks

Some people take breaks
While others break people

Some people break hearts
And others bones

Some people break free
From all that confines them
While others break themselves
In the process of being set free

Everyone breaks eventually
Some people write poems
Because they were lost
And then found
But I have not been found
I write because I am still lost
And that is who I am
And I accept it
Infinity is limited
Only by our
Imaginations

Unfortunately
Our imaginations are also
Infinitely limited
Thanks!
For nothing

I'm sorry!
But not really

How was your day?
I don't want to have a serious conversation

I'd love to!
I don't have a good enough reason to say no

That's good!
I don't care

I'm fine
Don't look at me
Ignore me
Believe me
**Leave me alone
Is it a damaged soul
Or simply a hateful heart
That thinks these words
But dares not speak them?
