One Thing Before You Go

now that car accident you hear in the background is my life
coming to a crashing hault.
I told myself,"time to grow up kid".
you see we all take a turn in this human buffet of life and death,oh and that gray area called"In between".

I'm not going to lie I was a man of leisure
travel
money
women
gambling
sleep all day and partied all night

I loved my life 
then it all changed.....I took it all personal even played the victim card to myself,now I had to deal with reality,the raw brutal truth that a human being and there life depended on me.

I went by many names but the name they call me now is CAREGIVER.
