Family First

I cant believe Im going to have my own family, something I never had; Its time to step up and be a real dad; Now I can remember the things that make me happy and forget the things that make me sad; Its time that I start doing good than the bad; I want for my child to see me as a role model; Its time I break my own chains to that alcoholic bottle; I want to be that someone who can be trusted to follow; I silently cry at night because the truth is hard to swallow; I jus hope I can make that change today not tomorrow; I got to change before I end up in an?early hearst; My art is my gift and alcohol is my curse, I must break my own alcoholic thirst; I must relieve my own selfishness tendencies before they burst; I got to stop making alcohol my only because its no longer just about me, because my very own family comes first
