Going My Way
Going my way
02/09/2018
I’ve always known better than others,
I smirk to myself in the corner.
Of a meeting of like minded souls,
But one which I think kinda smothers.
Follow these steps to be like us,
It’s the one and the only safe way.
If your not quite feeling it, well that’s ok,
Place your faith in us and just trust.
Keep coming back for hugs and not drugs,
And the cushion of safety in numbers.
It’s a really safe place we’ve cultivated here,
Even though most of us once were thugs.
As hard as I tried, I never got what they had,
And I really tried to fake it till I made it.
But there were too many deaths, too many relapses,
I couldn’t put my life in another mans hands.
If I wanted to live a life worth living,
I was the one who needed control.
One needs to want it more than anything else,
And you start with a large dose of forgiving.
Yeah I screwed up,
Yeah I was dumb.
Yeah I would sup,
I wanted to be numb.
Yeah I was in pain,
Yeah I was selfish.
With so much to gain,
It’s still hard to relinquish.
It starts with a plan,
and faith in yourself.
I’m not doing all this
for anyone else.
No more meetings
of miserable men.
My trust is where it belongs,
In me, just me and not them.
