One Chance To Be Myself~~

Today for a second I waited,
A pause that I needed to take...
Held tightly were my eyes to my pillow,
Delayed was the motion to wake...
A moment was needed to listen,
To the silence that filled the new day...
A moment to be more decisive,
About the self that I want to portray...
Sometimes I wish I felt pretty,
Sometimes I wish I was more,
Sometimes I wish I could vanish,
Through a promising wide-open door...
Sometimes I wish I felt needed,
Sometimes I wish it was true,
Sometimes I wish I could realize,
All the things I've needed to do...
But the wishes of maybe are countless,
And the hours do not disagree,
That time makes a habit of slipping away,
And there's only one chance to be myself...
