How many times has opportunity passed you by
How many times have you hit rock bottom, and still you wonder why.
Do you sit inside, looking out at the world, were you hiding in the dark when opportunity came and called.
Or did you give up hope, unable to deal with yourself, did you let your light flicker and die as you put your life on the shelf.
Do you lie down at night, listening to the world pass you by, all alone in the dark, do you listen and cry.
And as you dream at night, is it of love and good times, or is it full of sorrow, as you missed all the signs.
Through the window in your mind, could you not see this coming, or with your head held low, were you too busy running.
Stumbling forward, unable to see your life passing you by, and with all that is come and gone, still, you wonder why.

Ooh Ooh Ooh! I sense a column with this one!
(Note: Check out my column "Perception" to see what I'm talking about.)
Someone has a way with words, coughmalcough.
Nice job, this one is going to make some people wonder about themselves (and some more than we already do)

Well, how many times has opportunity passed me by?
Far too many to count.
This is a great piece of writing, but I think it could've been structured better into a more poetic format, using stanzas and etc.
Welcome to AP!
