Take a step forward <br />Take a deep breath <br />Let your mind take the lead <br />Don't let it hurt you to breathe. <br /> <br />Take a step back <br />Take a chance to explain <br />Let your mind do the talking <br />Don't be foolish and regret your choices. <br /> <br />Your blood veins pumps <br />Your heart beat jumps <br />Make it understand how you feel <br />Make it real to make it happen <br />Let's talk about anything <br /> <br />Dreams are realities that we can't explain <br />Fantasies are dreams that you wish could happen <br />Realities are life and death <br />We don't choose to die <br />We choose to live life. <br /> <br />Take a step forward <br />Take a deep breath <br />Let your mind take the lead <br />Don't let it hurt you to breathe. <br /> <br />Take a step back <br />Take a chance to explain <br />Let your mind do the talking <br />Don't be foolish and regret your choices. <br /> <br />Sometimes mistakes are good <br />It's a lesson in life <br />We take chances <br />We take risks <br />But it's nothing to feel bad about. <br /> <br />Think of it as learning <br />We learned to breathe <br />We learned to live <br />We even learn about ourselves. <br /> <br />Lives are stories <br />Every person has something to say <br />Each day we do something. <br /> <br />Making ourselves explain <br />Making chances <br />Making promises that we don't keep <br />Having secrets <br />And telling everybody. <br /> <br />Do I think it's right? <br />No. <br />But we're young <br />And living life to the fullest <br />And this is where it all starts. <br /> <br />Take a step forward <br />Take a deep breath <br />Let your heart take the lead <br />Don't let it hurt you to take chances.<br /><br />Tammi Celina Lyons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chances-35/
