When life runs out of chances

by baliw-na-payaso

You woke up one Friday morning
Felt like all your dreams were dying
Yesterday you failed your BAR exam
Today you lost your loving Mom

You looked up and asked God "Why?!"
All that you could do then was cry
Thought that life's meaning is gone
Tried to end all these with a gun

Maybe I came a little late
Was stung by your words full of hate
But I had no plans of giving up
'Cause I came to save you from this crap

Love, your life's meaning is not gone
But a new chapter just began
Don't be paralyzed by the pain
Move on, stand up, and start again

Don't be afraid to try once more
'Cause there are things worth living for
In life, you fail, get hurt, and grieve
Yet you learn, you hope, and still believe

And when life runs out of chances
And nothing's left but bruises
When nothing seems right in this world
You'd still have my hand to hold
