Old Flow, New Flow
my pastΒ Β is a blur
but of very clear scenes
something I will never forget
someone I'll never be
lies and excuses
came from my mouth
you may think you understand
but you don't know what my life was about
quietly walking
sliding the door open so slow
climbing the fences
my rebellious side began to show
hopped in a car
a prized one at that
black interior
leather seats is where I sat
sometimes on him
or maybe someone other
I laid myself across
never thinking of my mother
she was sick
she was dying
I was begging for attention at night
I spent over a year trying
drug deals I watched
bottles I drank
I was aboard a scary ship
one that was bound to be sank
drinking so much
the taste was good on my tongue
although so was his mouth
alcohol created so much fun
alcoholic, sexaholic
both very strong words
I fell within both
it was quite absurd
knifes and fights
stitches and blood
crawling through tight spaces
ruining clothes with mud
cops were the enemy
from them I always ran
afraid of my own self
welcoming any man
I started to get help
from close ones to me
they helped me out
they made me believe
throughout all of this
I am proud to say
i'm happy for my past
I wouldn't be who I am today
strong-willed, and responsible
upon my shoulders, a good head
always sticking to my word
never forgetting the promises I said
happy and calm
no longer someone wild
I have grown into a woman
not anymore am I a child
this may scare you
hearing about my past
but this was only a summary
the real thing doesn't go by so fast
I keep most of it secret
only myself will ever know
now happy and go lucky
i'll stick with this new flow
