I Miss Me

I Miss Me I’ve changed through the years As life as thrown me many curves I’ve been bounced back and worth Which has worked on my nerves Often I’ve walked away from the person I’ve been most of my life Gone are the carefree days Stress has gotten me with a knife Who I am in the mirror At times I’m not quite sure Who I was, and who I am Battles me like a war Have I let the world inside? Have I lost that inner peace? This tower of strength I once was Now the demons feast I’d traded strength for weakness Temptation has called my name Yet I know wrong from right But I play it like a game Traded my soul for money Valued processions that I have Out in front my conscience leads Yet my hands can not quite grab I miss simpler days When the right road was clear to see But when I honestly look back What I miss the most is me
