A CHANCE TO CHANGE


A candle's weak mysterious flame
Warms up my heart on stormy nights
I realize it's me to blame
For all the crazy, angry fights

I want to ask you to forgive
For what I've said for what I've done
My love is all I have to give
I'll try to change, I will try hard

I realized you're all I have
There's no one else that close to me
Give me a chance and understand
That only you can let set me free

So I'm looking in your eyes
Asking you to break those chains
Chains of guilt and chanins of lies
Please use your enchanting ways.

It's late tonight and
I can't sleep...
my thoughts unwillingly
on something deep

Why, I ask
am I so scared of change
thinking it's an obstacle
or something strange

I feel the tightness
in my chest
I try to push the thoughts aside...
trying my best

Will leaving the familiar
expose my soul
leaving me vulnerable
as a whole?

Can I not look upon it
as a new beginning
a chance to reinvent
and uplift my whole being?

Even trying to think
only pleasant thoughts
won't uplift my soul
or push aside the remorse

All I can do
is hope and pray
that God will take
all my cares away.
