God, Give me one more chance.
I need to let everyone know the truth
I fell to the silence of the lambs
And fell to the pressures of the youth
God, I need just one more chance
To find my voice and scream
"I am not silent, silence no more!
My world is not what it seems."
God, I need one more spare hour
To let them know I have a mind
I need to scream to them, "I'm breathing!"
And not to leave my memory behind
God, I'm begging you, spare me.
Just this one more begotten second
I can find this, I have a will
My life is here and its beckoned
God, Just give me one more chance
I have too much to tell
I'm almost breathing on my own
In this life I've almost excelled
God, I know I can do this
If you give me one more chance
I want them to know I can hear them
I'm not dead, God, just in a momentary trance.

I've been meaning to write a poem with "God, give me one more chance" the main heading, but couldn't get the inspiration. I got it. Hope it's good.
