‘Always Got A Chance’

When you’re sitting on your own

In a room that’s dumb and quiet

Your head is racing fast

And about to start a riot !

Sometimes it’s so hard

To feel on a natural high

The realities of life set in

Dig deep go on please try

Never feel that you’re alone

On what seems a long and lonely walk

Pick up the phone and share your tone

Friends are only glad to help and talk

So many people get these feelings

Just exactly as you may

Me for one I didn’t know where to run

I’m now feeling stronger by the day

Please don’t feel you’re any different

To the person stood or sat beside you

Just relax breathe deep even have a good weep

You will come back stronger too !

Life is oh so precious

I wanted to share this story

It’s an achievable goal that will unfold

And help you in your personal quest for glory

When your life is going nowhere

Or you’re just a little lost

Try to keep on smiling

At whatever it may cost

And if you’re downing in appearance Don’t !

Stand up and make a stance

Because when you smile the world smiles with you

And you’ve ‘Always Got A Chance.
