Ryan Harris Poet I do not know?

Before I Knew

These are the things,
 I used to do, 
Thats before I knew,
 What I was doing was coming to.
 I'd run with the boys,
 Through the fields of pain,
 Chasin white balls,
 Slowly going insane.
 


I was reaching new heights in my game of life,
 By playing the hands,
 The're not to fold,
 By breaking the rules I was told,
 An' reading the dice as they were rolled.
 


These are the things I used to do,
 Before I knew,
 What I was doin was comin to.
 


I'd sit at the end of my driveways end,
 I would,
 Smoke a cigerette,
 I would,
 Stare at the stars
 An wish for things I could never get.
 


These are the things I used to do,
 Before I knew,
 What I was doin was coming to.
 These are the things  I used to do,
 Before I knew
