From the time when I could first recall
They taught me when you get up you will fall
You can tell it in the way they at me stare
A piercing look that is sometimes hard to bear
To belittle you and not be part of them
Will extinguish any spark of life so don't pretend
Lord let me win please
I’ve paid my dues
I want to find the keys
Surely it’s my time to choose
It’s been mountains to climb going on and on
And never a time when I can just get along
I’ve had to make it alone without a friend
The one’s I’ve had have not lasted to the end
What did I do or did I say to end up in this way
I cannot see my bad times will ever go away
Lord let me win please
I’ve paid my dues
I want to find the keys
Surely it’s my time to choose
After all this time it’s more than I can bear
Surely you can see this for me it’s only fair
As I think of how I played by each rule
Not to have happiness now will be so cruel
Just this one time let it work for me
After all my trials surely it will finally be
Lord let me win please
I’ve paid my dues
I want to find the keys
Surely it’s my time to choose

I would like to translate this poem
A situation that so many of us would have been in. I feel I have come to a point where I am so open to acceptance of what will be will be. You have spoken words that seemed so incredibly real. Always enjoy your words for they are straight from the heart.
