My Life As a Book
i wonder if i wrote a story of my life
what dark secrets would i reveal
would i really what to go through this twice
if i read about the way i lived
the pain i cause to some i was blessed to meet
the shame brought to mom from my life in the streets
the love i betrayed by messing around
or the heart i saved with the love i found
would i really like the way things looked
if i viewed my life in a book
after constantly turning through page after page
going over all the dumb mistakes that i made
yea been more places than some , to some i've done more things
might appear to a small group that i lived somewhat like a king
but they are only on the outside looking in at my life
not knowing how it comes with such a great price
although there are some nice ending to some of my stories
and its to God i owe that glory
but how much must be read before we reach that chapter
for my life is not the story that many would have sought after
