Exiting My Old Life For a New One
My life needs to be reset
Every time I try to exit
Out of trouble and confusion
It leave me with more contusions
From each fall that leaves me humble
I want to stand up not tumble
Down another slope and slide
Hurting my esteem and pride
Just once I'd like to bounce up
Getting out of this bad rut
That sneaks up and grabs a hold
Making me crumble and fold
Into a weak wobbly
Person I don't want to be
I need to get strong and muster
Up some courage that won't fluster
Helping me back on my feet
Where I'll stay and not repeat
The same mistakes and wrong doings
That left me hurting and bruising
I can see that exit sign
Lit up bright for me to find
So I can step out and see
An improve future for me
