In My Life
In my life,
I've made many bad choices..
There's been times that,
I've lost track of what mattered.
Got caught up,
in my own selfish needs and,
in the meantime seemed to hurt everyone that I've ever loved.
In my life,
I've made many mistakes.
How I wish,
I could go back and change.
But I can't and,
the past is gone forever.
My punishment's the consequence that I live with alone.
So sentence me
to what you think I deserve.
But just know that there's no way I can be hurt.
For this pain,
it weighs my conscience down.
For knowing what, I have done's....enough.
In my life,
there's things that I have done,
that still now,
remain to eat me up.
So, if I smile,
don't think that for one second,
the weight I've carried deep inside has finally let me go.
Through out my life,
I've learned that in this world,
true forgiveness, is rarely ever heard.
You can judge me
since you, yourself, are perfect.
And I'm sure you've never messed up or ventured down the wrong road.
Yes, sentence me
to suffer for my sins.
If you're sure that they don't sting me from within.
Cast me down,
if that is what you wish.
But I have no choice,
but to stand up....again.
In My Life.
In My Life.
In..My...Life.
