Asking for directions. (unedited)

How does one undo their mistakes?
How does one change?

 Is there no manual, No book , no guide?
 Is there nothing that can Help me make things right?
 They say ppl deserve a second chance

Why is it when I try something
a second time around
 I fall flat on my face?

 Some one up there has it in for me.
 Someone up there knows
 iv done wrong.
 If someone up there would
 only guide me,
I wouldn't be lost or so far from home.

 Is there no way
 I can make things right?
Is it too late to change?
Is there nothing that can be done,
 To make up for the mistakes iv made?
 Time is the enemy I've noticed.

 Time is a selfish onlooker
 Waiting to pull the rug from under you.
Wanting you to fall flat on your face.

 The choices I've made growing up
Have not been my finest so far.
I do not regret them,
just don't understand them.

I do not wish to change my past,
 I do not want what's done, undone.
 I only want a second chance.
 If what I hear is true,
Then I do believe
 I deserve a second chance too.

 does anyone out there have a manual, or a guide,
 Or a clue how to live.

 Is there nothing I can do to make things right??
 Is there no way for me to land on my feet?
 For my face can take
 no more assaults from the floor!
