Gone Astray

11/23/21 Regardless of what you heard in town There'll soon be a turnaround No need to have it all burnt to the ground First thing I got to do is put the alcohol and herb down Girl we can still work it out Don't think otherwise, we both deserve it now Saw it coming Doing something Not only running Towards success I am gunning Got no time for fussing Always careful on who I am trusting Because it all can be disgusting Which is why I'm adjusting While particles continue fluxing Often it's no quarter Grow up instead of calling others a foreigner Few if any truly in my corner I remain an explorer Not fearful of horror As the planet stays cold or becomes warmer Realize our lives over time become shorter Meaning live it up on any side of the border Because it's not all set in stone or requiring a mortar Instead of always diving in head first Don't just make the best of it, make an effort Getting better with experience and putting out your best work Going in all directions not just westward Endless questions remaining Quit always doing the same things And complaining Start changing Toward a better path you may be paving Ground is what you are gaining After taking time for training Eventually you'll be prevailing After having gone astray You might feel like it's not okay But please don't throw it all away Show love and have a happy holiday
