But A Chance

What do I ask for but a chance

To let all the noise fade

For the flames licking at my brain to burn out

A chance to live my life

Unhindered by the shit I’m haunted by

A past I wish was different

A present where nothing is fair

And a future to remind me I’m almost out of time

A chance for life to pass through me

Like a calm breeze in the summer
