Choices and Mistakes
Oh my fair mistakes
of the choices that we make
How can I live with the thought of knowing
Where it is we are going
Time be ever so sweet
While I feel the earth beneath my feet
I lie in wait for this day to come
My mouth used to drown my burdens with rum
My choice, my mistake
With every breath I take
Who am I to judge
While I feed my face with fudge
I look at myself in the mirror
Hoping to see things clearer
But will I get that answer at last
My choices and mistakes will go by fast
Hurry now or you will be too late
To change this dreaded but unending fate
There will be no secrets to keep
For there you ended up six feet deep.
