I know where I’ve been and don’t want to go back
But my past follows behind on an inward relentless, incessant attack
The past stayed present, went on for years
In sight of my future trading innocence for wisdom
The past stayed present, it went on for years
My past lives with me can I live without fear?
Lost so much, gained little back
An awful price, for the faith that I lacked
Laden load ...of misery
Laden with efforts, that counted on me
So time encompassed a captured life
Looking but finding no answer in sight
A clever voice waited
Counted one my destiny
The on thing needed was a friend
Deception preyed on that need in the end
Here I am now waiting on you
And my mind is mine once again
This is not praise
No liberal view
Paths of misery
Are what I am testimony to
This courage in wisdom
Is Gods gift of time
