Pulling the Pain

Why do I test the limits of my pain?
What could I possibly hope to gain??

Can I say: "Is It worth the strain?"
Or tell you its because of someone to blame!

I did whatever I could to maintain a good name.
And it went back to being just the same.

I treat what I do as a game,
because my habits are not in the right frame.

This has to stop or at best be tame.
I want to leave this life in a good light,
by god's crane.
