I'M Taking Control

That is it 
I'm done with this ****
I'm taking control
No more time to give 

No more blaming others 
For what I allowed 
No matter their intentions 
No more and it starts now

I need to break free 
of these gifts of chains 
These presents are a prison
I can only take the blame

Trying to hold the future 
But I don't even have now
Need to refocus motivation
To work for the clouds

Need to go to school
And get a job
Become a member of the world 
And not a homeless slob

I'm an incredible person 
I learn more evidence every day
Time to to get ride of the trash 
That's making me late

I see traits I have 
That others fake 
Theirs lies are transparent 
I just can't relate

These people don't deserve 
A friend like me
No more future chances 
I need to be free

I'm tired of giving chances
For people who waste my time
Draining me of my emotions
It's costing me my life 

My life I can hear it
Calling me to be proud 
Telling me to stand up
And find and safe sober crowd
