A Little Hope For An Addict of Dope

each day of living i let go of the hands that i called when i should have bet or remembered when it was best to just forget gave away with nothing to get back stayed where i was at when i should pack my stuff and just move on let bygones be bygones left it at that squeezed and not pulled the trigger aimed a little better wore a t-shirt and not a sweater turned on the tv and checked the weather kept a friend instead of just passing by laughed when i wanted to cry could have but didn't try told the truth but it was a lie walked away from a homeless man when i should have fed him or just gave a helping hand turned the other cheek when being struck gave it my all when i was down on my luck on my last buck shirt torn and untucked i can go on and on and on and on with these things i regret but i don't and i won't let them get the best of me i'll move on adjust fire live another day to get up a little higher because life doesn't come with a receipt or a warrantee there is no money back guarantee and i agree enter at your risk make a few mistakes hope to grow give and take and pray and pray and pray your heart out for the wisdom and learning to not go back in anger
