hi........... i want in.... here's a topikal that i did
Life is like a pack of playing cards, the cards being the opportunities…..
….. You must use the hand you are dealt wisely
..::Opportunity knocks::..
:Intro
Another hard day’s work, grinding metal on the construction site
Despite low pay and long hours, I need the money to survive
I come home exhausted, enter my home, shit its been broken into…
…again, I called the police… but no one knows truly what I been through
I gazed around the room, T.V. gone, fridge gone everything gone
I cry for a bit, pull myself together and try to be strong
What did I do wrong on life… did I just take the easy path
I failed my class, I should have studied for science and math
Gotten a better job, stopped for this pathetic life
Get wife, been alone for ages, aint even got a car to drive
I should have thought about my future when it really mattered
But from 16 onwards my life just fell and splattered
I should have used the opportunities that were given
Then I may have had a life that was worth living
:verse
I sat on my bed, tears trickling down my eyes
Cold and lonely, suddenly I thought of suicide
My pride was low, then I thought of a new job
I picked up the news paper, and my eyes just stopped
On an article about a movie, I thought I could star in that
I got my hopes up, put the paper down on my lap
Imagined me as a super star, so I decided to go audition
Got the bus into town, and I was high off my ambitions
Entered the apartment house, looking for room number 23
Knocked on the door, and a young lady looks at me
“can I help you” she said “um, I’m here about the film”
she says “oh ok… this way” and signalled to come in
there were about 20 other people there, all for the same thing
all for the same reason of just pursuing a dream
The auditions began, and I had to act out a scene
So I began with feeling, but everyone was as keen
After that was over we were told to have a seat
I was so confident, I though I had the opposition beat
The lady said “there are five parts” and began reading
My name wasn’t called……….. inside I began screaming
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
I got home, and sat down in my same depressed stage
Gazed at the paper with the job… then I riped up that page
I clenched my fists, then tears rolled from my eyes
And then it came again…. The thought of suicide
I stood up… went and walked out onto my deck
Gazed over and jumped… landed and smashed my neck

There are no opportunities that come to you, you have to find them
