It Took Me Awhile

Written By: D. Collins 5/14/24
It took me awhile to find my way.
Now the new me is here to stay.
I doubted whether I could go it alone.
Now I’m the guy who stands on his own.
As Patti would say, I got a new attitude.
And, what came out was a ‘Mo Betta dude.
The ingredients thrown into the pot.
Is nowhere near what came out.
It took a minute to get my feet under me.
Come to realize just how bad I could be.
I’m on a mission to become a better man.
Which is not far away, from where I stand.
