I had to change my life around
Because I was a pessimist kind of men
For along time
Eventually I got tired of it
And I decided to change to optimistic
And I felt much better by doing ithatt
Because by now I have optimistic view off things
I no longer fight with people
Because that is not a good thing to do
I had to change my life around
I learned to control my temper
I had a bad temper before
I had to change my life around
I was even in jail once
And that was bad for me
Today I am more mature
And when there is a problem I try to solve it in a nice way
I need to speak up
I can’t stay silent
When people are hurting me
I need to say stop you are hurting me
I had to change my life around
And I am never alone anymore
I have people that comes to visit me
And I am grateful for that
I had to change my life around
I had to plan my life better each day
I had to change my life around
By learning to save money
Because I used to spend money like water
I had to change my life around
And learn to trust people
Because maybe I didn’t trust people enough
I had to change my life around
Before I believed that it was ok to be alone
But it is not
It is very sad when I was alone
I had to change my life around
Today I have friends
And I decided that I am going to keep the friends I have
I had to change my life around
By learning to write my feelings down on my computer
I had to change my life around
I got rid of my fancy life that I was living before
But today I live a simple life
And that is all I need
I had to change my life around
By having to learn to love myself
Before I could even love others
I had to change my life around
And learn to pray more often
Because I never prayed enough
For myself and for others
I had to change my life around
And try to look good when going out
Because it is important
