Changed Man

I tossed the bottle and jumped right on the wagon My livid pains exuded nothing but honest pity Through years of constant warnings and naggin’ I stopped the partying and nightlife in the city I stopped the drugs and cigarettes on the way Sank into dreams of being what I used to be Hoping my health would get better each day I took walks and ran in the woods to feel free I stopped gambling and watching raunchy shows I stopped reading about sex and savage crime And started drawing and writing heart felt prose Now I’m a changed man and feeling really fine

You have done a lot for yourself. This is a very grand, thing, friend. I am still struggling with the sex, with myself, and the smoking, lol! Well written friend!
