Change

How you going to start a new path if you keep going the same way,
How you going to change if you don't stick to what you say, 
The addiction makes tell so many lies, 
I cried on the inside everytime I looked in my mom's eyes, 
I went down hill when my best mate and brother died, 
For a year I pretended it wasnt true he was just busy I was brain fried, 
A druggie a mess a coke head all this was true, 
I had a good partner who didn't leave me and help me get through, 
For all my wrong I'm so ashamed, 
Wish I wasn't me and could be renamed, 
After all the upset I coursed close ones sorry don't mean nothing, 
I tried 12 times to end my life, I didn't like me I wasn't bluffing, 
Now I'm trying be a good person it's never to late, 
I can't wait till I stop staring in the mirror of hate. 
Your friend matty d :) xx
