Bystanders

I am no bystander to this life I live W here I am today is the result of things that I did To blame the world or the jokers I've crossed Would be irresponsible and a complete bust They played their parts and so did I And I've spent a few years of cleaning time The messes that were made by many hands It fell on me to draw up a cleansing plan Still a ways to go but making strides Until I reach the days that I'm free to shine Lost will be the heartaches of yesteryear Glory a constant and days of no fear It's cleaning time for this wayward soul Progression and triump the number one goal Far from who I was but still finding myself I'm responsible for my happiness; no one else Saying goodbye to the past and hello to my truest self Amazing is the heart which is so full of hope A force to be reckoned with unlike anything else Cleared away are the cobwebs and dusted off is my heart I'm grateful for the future I've been able to start To the bruises and scars that've been made along the way Rest in the past for you can no longer accompany me on my way You have your place and can stay in the hands Of the giver of your pain and the source of your plan Me? I've faced my demons head on in the light Forcing them out and leaving them behind No bystander to the life that I had been living But in taking responsibility myself I have forgiven And in this breath of new beginnings I've gained a life and a future worth living
