I’m not trying to pretend
Stick it through
See the end
Of this line, finish out this life
Kill the struggles and the strife
Messages of eternal life
Stray from that hate of mine
Threatening to enclose my heart
Keep those apart
Know where to end and where to start
I don’t flaunt a crazy style I don’t have
Don’t talk in rhymes, faking attitude – “I’m so bad”
I can only be myself
Be influenced but not helped
Along this path of discovery
Recovery, In front of me
I see a journey to a destination
of answers and revelations
obtained only through dedication, education
I know where I am, know where I stand
And sense enough to know to change
But strong enough to stay my hand
