Poems for days
In an attempt to fix the things I've broken
Including myself, along the way

No one ever said it was going to be easy
And it hasn't been
Bad choices have been made
And bridges have been broken

Reality has been sobering
Sobriety has shown me reality

To all the people I've hurt over the years
Including myself
I must tell you that I apologize

I used to look for answers at the bottom of a bottle
Even though they didn't come
I kept trying and only complicated everything

It was about not taking responsibility
Not wanting to deal with my life and the losses I've experienced
The reality is
That's life
Most of it is out of our control

When you ride the wave
It will break eventually
You just gotta get back up and keep swimming
That's life
