"Expired Chance"

I didn't ask you to be with me for no apparent reason

I am who I am...

Fear will not drive my choices

I will not apologize for not fitting within the confines of “normal”

My dreams will be lived

Not just merely something to hope for, some place way off in the distance

I want to tell you with all of my life that I want to love you

But, you will not let yourself get past all of the other stuff holding you back from my extended hand

The choice, the chance, is yours for the taking

Step up...

Where is the craving, the want, desire, or basic need?

I will not let my life be one simple accident after the next

I have a purpose that is uniquely my own

My desperate wish once was to share it with you

But all hope is now gone...

Faded with the moments in time

I am not the worthless that you try to make me feel

And the limitations that you wish to inflict upon me

Will only cage me in...

Because every opportunity has a shelf life

And yours just expired...
