Used To Be

I used to be a man with no goal,
that was how I used to roll.
I used to be a man with no ambition,
time to break that tradition.
I used to be a man who didn't care,
now you all better beware.
I used to be a man always ******,
all my dreams were once postponed.
I used to be a man with no guts,
now I am just flat out nuts.
Never used to know right from wrong,
now I say, can't we all just get along.
Never knew the difference between left and right,
used to only see things in black and white.
I used to be a man with no morals,
no compromise only quarrels.
I used to be a man you couldn't trust,
my brain was layered in thick pie crust.
Now that the crust has melted away,
I now have something to say.
My goal is to live happily after ever,
even geniuses call me clever.
My ambition is to have it all,
I'm gonna run far with the ball.
Caring is now all I ever do,
a new me has made its debut.
Being ****** is in the past,
not sure how long that will last.
Now I have the guts to try anything,
any challenge, I dare you to bring.
Being wrong is no longer allowed,
you all better get off of my cloud.
I now know my left, right, up and down,
it feels good to be treated like a proper noun.
Morals, I have plenty of,
now that I have found love.
Now you can trust me as far as you can throw,
life is nothing more than one big drama show.
