I'Ve Been Around

Life has been normal and strange, exciting and lame Fought, begged, pleaded. Just to play the game Wished and dreamed of fortune and fame Searched for an escape from all the pain I’ve been good, I’ve been bad, everything else in-between Worked hard, slacked off, lived dirty and clean Been innocent and guilty, on my own, on a team Acted stubborn, easy going. Faced reality, chased a dream I’ve gone through ups, downs, good times and bad Comfort, fear, stability, chaos. All I have had Seen miracles come from no where, Tragedies happen fast Both pride and shame can be seen in my past I’ve won some, lost some, been first and been last People have praised me, stones have been cast Experienced the easy life, with no responsibilities to mention Busted my butt and partied it off, ignored, paid attention Been betrayed and forgave, sinned and sought redemption I’ve been dismissed, I’ve been chosen, held back, had ambition I loved drugs and hated them, I’ve said yes and I’ve said no I’ve done them, they’ve done me, decided they had to go Some memories are treasured, the lessons more so Through it all I got lucky, this I do know Done some impressing along side some disappointing Finally felt true love and yes it’s worth the waiting Seen my care free days become non-existent Became a wife and mother, never knew what I was missing Been kicked when I’m down, been shoved around Been loved by the best of them, pound for pound Put myself out there, fallen face first to the ground As for the future, well, who knows what’s to be found
