Unexpected Chance
Why did they choose me?
What did they see?
Out of billions of people, why?
Maybe this is all a lie
I’m like a lock without a key
Always thinking I’ll never be free
Because no one can open me
It’s not easy as one, two, and three
But when they came, everything became bright
It’s now warm, instead of a cold night
I was complete for the first time
Like getting away after committing a crime
Only I feel something might go wrong
Like creating a really bad song
They could vanish into thin air
Like a dream that turned into a nightmare
But when I was about to break
They were like icing on a cake
They never left me
That’s when I realized we were meant to be
How could I deserve someone like them?
I’m the flower and they’re the stem
Without them, I’d probably die
Like a bird without a sky
Even though I’m not perfect
A complete reject
You still accept me
Like I’m part of your family
If I hadn’t met any one of you
I would still be feeling blue
Never knowing what’s true
Not even knowing who’s who
A thank you isn’t enough
So they might think this is a bluff
But they’re now my light, my sun
My number one
I promise to be there
Until it ends
This I swear
To you, my best friends

“We encounter people everyday, but we come across people that may cause something unexpected and can make a big change in you.”
Dana is pursuing an environmental career as her dream because she is interested in taking care of the environment and its resources.
