Chances

The song that changes everything,

that gives you power,

power to take a step

forward and not a step back.

A fifty  percent chances

is all you need,

you could lose or win

with just one step.

A little step or a big step,

is all it takes

all before the song ends.

The song can't play on for long,

I know that first hand.

 

Hope

You  got to believe in yourself,

before you can in anything else.

Hope can only get you so far,

Before it's too late

take all your hopes and dreams

turn them into reality.

Reality that you can be great,

before the time window closes.

Know your limit,

and what you can do

in the end,

Time is always limited.


Opportunities

The song is coming to an end  

It’s time for the big move.

The flag is lifeless,

I am to the flag as

Cause is to effect.

The flag goes down just as

quirky as it went up.

Bang

The mental hits the floor,

sounds like a door

being slammed.

It’s over now


Timing

Everything has a time limit

before it's too late

Take that hope

use it

for a chance,

take that chance

for an opportunity.

All before the time it out

a song can only

play on for so long.

So turn that opportunity

in to the reality before

time is out.

Time can be your

enemy or your friend.

Don’t waste time

before you have to make them

Big move.

Don’t make them

the door hit you on the way out.

 Hello, my name is Ciara Barrett. I go to Suffern High School. I'm your ordinary teen, I hang out with my friends at the mall when I have time, I study and play sports. I wrote this poem for poetry but I wanted to make it about some every one could relate to.
