Only If I Had A Chance

“Only if I had a chance”

Only if you knew how I felt inside

The shimmer that is in my eyes

Isn’t what it seems

I always feel

As if something is missing

My heart never feels complete

My memories of true happiness

Are so few

If you think I don’t care

That isn’t true

What I seek

Is happiness

I don’t ask for much

By my hearts desire

Can never be fulfilled

Only if I had a chance

Maybe I could believe

In everything people are telling me to

My heart just isn’t there

I’ve given up hope

There is nothing left for me
