It's not enough to want.
It's not enough to do, to try.
It's not enough to pray, to hope, to dream,
or even to desire, or crave.
It takes that one person, only one soul,
who believes in you enough,
to offer you a once in a lifetime opportunity.
That one moment in your life,
when a door opens ...
After so many years of circling round and round,
having fallen flat on your face,
multiple times ...
That one person, one moment, one door.
I know of many who have gotten their chance,
how easily they have forgotten,
that they too were once in my shoes.
They only look down upon me,
as they snicker and snarl ...
"You aren't trying hard enough!"
"You aren't doing enough!"
Nothing in life has ever come easy.
No handouts needed.
No pity party, please.
Not a single ounce of pride to be lost ...
Just a simple chance, is all I ask.
A chance to prove myself.
A chance to truly shine.
One person, one soul, one moment,
is all that's needed ...
That proverbial "Golden Opportunity".
Where is it?
When will I get my chance?
