Make or brake my chances.
My struggles persist,
as they do.
A consistent flow
of something I've no control of.
Life itself said so.

Like desired strangers
yet to be spoken to.
It's a matter of time
until the ice has broken through.
Then, give patience
and understanding.
Life's a guessing game
with unlimited names.

From the dead drunk beggar
in his hall of fame,
to ex-girlfriends
who change their names.
From a walk-on part,
to Oscar winners.
I've tossed the coin between
saints and sinners
and you,
you make or brake your chances.
