Selfempathy

In need of a second chance,

I could do with some even breaks,

I'd show to myself and others

That I possess just what it takes,

By God, I've found it difficult,

To live this life of mine, and show,

That I'm worth the extra effort

And be given another go.

Turning towards a bright corner,

I find a dead-end road for me,

Doors closed, that should have been open

Now require an unknown key,

I'm not sure that carrying on

Gives my life, the belief, to enhance,

So maybe I should stop right now

And gift heaven that second chance
