The was calm and quiet
Who know life would be a riot
From family in the city
Around people from different towns
Not forever but temporary
The town comes to life on a Friday night
Another wild weekend liquor is flowing
Dies down during the summer
What to do next without a social life
From friends to foes people that are unknown

Another argument with a selfish person
Minds are set theirs no changing them
Battle of egos it's better to walk away
More pain from the past being brought up
Not the same anymore quit trying to use it
Another person who lived and grew
Another life struggled to move up going steady
Things happen so fast should be a shocker
Never ready but not surprised anymore
Called another name for working hard
Personal attacks for being different
Said it to one of the two faces
One minute your liked and love
The next feels like redemption
Now trying to prove yourself
Learned to walk away said nothing
Kept their name outta this mouth
Not worthy or don't care to talk about anyone
While others dragging names others down
For being happy a companionship with misery

The thoughts are gone
Trusting in a higher faith
Can't do it all without believing
The internal struggle lifted away
Letting go of old focused on new
The path feels guided more promising
Dull light within begins to burn
Not easily fool or manipulated
With age comes wisdom
Personal growth more selective
Thoughts feel like a break through
Lots of peace within with the ones
The people who didn't quit or walk away

From a social butterfly
The heart of the party now dull person
Never fit in right away feeling pressured
Not seeking approval of others
Use to being alone quiet time at home
Don't care to be around alcohol
Protecting this heart sober living
Always looking in prefer to stay out
Once inside so much emotion to hide
Not sure how to act or behave
Not trying to cause a scene or act up

Invited out feeling under pressure
Went out before guilted like it's wrong
Able to do it freely now not interested anymore
Given a recommendation letter nice things said
Rather then give the hard worker away
Hire him reward his hard work and efforts
Staying loyal and true going away feeling blue
Hard working doesn't mean illegal
Sometimes going the extra mile means caring
Hard to trust not able to rely on anyone
It's better to get things done be the one
Don't leave it for the next have self respect
Take pride in work such a lost skill
