Me

I always do everything that’s different from the rest

Never finish what I start, how can I be the best

I live my life from day to day, wonder in my mind

What could have I become… if I really tried

Memories is all I have, with all my hopes and dreams

In a land of make believe, Nothings what it seems

 

I guess a man is measured by what he has to hold

I who have nothing…Like a broken mold

I used to have some promise but squandered every chance

All the years of wasting…are nothing but a glance

In my life I found it hard to settle for the best

What I thought was better…was always something less

 

Mistakes, regrets, indecisive and with doubt

I thought that I fit in…I was merely just left out

It’s easy to divert the blame on reasons why you fail

It’s harder to accept the blame with failure on this scale

Regain your edge; make a stand, no sorrow without fault

Make your dreams accomplishments, or let it go for naught

 

Can you do it all alone and do you have the will?

All the negativity has promise of it still

Now it’s time to start a new, you never lost your way

To believe in those who want to help, fall victim to the prey

So keep your focus straight ahead and leave the past behind

What’s mine is yours is not the truth…what’s yours is never mine
