Second Chance Poem by nicole Davis

The first contestant comes to me
With lost of grief and misery
He said for me to come and find
The one mistake that’s in his mind

The one thing that was really wrong
The thing that had gone on this long
The thing that he couldn’t see
No one else, only me

“why me? ” I said “ I’m not the best
I can’t put this thing to rest.”
“yes you can because you care
with your poems that you share

with lots of people you do not know
the surprise is the thing they show
please teach me how to be like you
show me all the things you do

show me how to read a heart
and teach me how to throw a dart
tell me how to feel the soul
and teach me how you meet your goal.”

After what he said to me
I promise I would try to see
The way people try to dance
And how some get a second chance.
