Down But Not Out
Down but not out
—————————
I want my life back
Get back on track
I’m so full of guilt and shame
As I should cause I am to blame
I’m so ashamed of how I’ve behaved
I hope it’s not to late and it can be saved
Right now this mountain seems so high
I have to keep going I have to try
How ever destructive addiction can be
The real killer is in the self pity
For now I need to push that aside
I want to claw back some of my pride
Love and support I can not expect
I hope my actions will have some affect
On the loved ones I’ve left broken hearted
That’s why it’s time now
To get started
