Facing Time
Do you ever think about others
Who've been in your shoes
How many have suffered
Not knowing the truth
Theres choices we make
Struggles some face
We do what it takes
Consequences to pay
Some act & don't think
They'll ever be caught
Days turn to weeks
Behind bars you'll rot
Some people will say
There's things we'll regret
Then comes that day
We wish we'd forget
Some people care
Others just use
No self-respect
Just an excuse
Sometimes we do things
We wish we could take back
Some will get clean
Get their lives back on track
Not everything works
We're not all the same
Some always hurt
Life's not a game
What would you do
If given a choice
Help the abused
Block out their voice
Months turn to years
Nobody will be there
Cry out your tears
Because life is unfair
You've got to realize
You've got to change
If you're "Facing Time"
It's already too late
