Right or wrong
I really don't know
Where I need to go
In the end what will my life even have to show
Did I make a wrong turn
Did trust I earn
Maybe I walked away
When I really needed to stay
I do not know
But I learn as I grow
Lifes lessons painfully taught
When for the wrong reasons I have fought
And the havoc it has wrought
Seemed so simple when was a young mind
What I wanted in my life to find
Did not know
What this life would have to show
Must of got lost that first day
Not yet knowing my way
Tossed out into the cold
How quickly one grows old
Trying hard not to fold
Looking for some peace of mind
Someone kind
To lend a simple smile
All the while
Be the light leading my way
As my hair turns gray
What is wrong or even right
Such as a simple kiss good night
This desire may be wrong
But the night is so long
Thoughts on the attack
Saying I can never go back
Point me the way
To a better day
Perhaps I will find
My own peace of mind
With each passing year
The further I step from my own fear
One step closer I appear
To be going no place at all
Have to tear down this wall
Before I can move on my way forward
Towards
Tomorrow or beyond
Of life I have grown fond
As I look for me
The person I hope to be
I find
My own peace of mind
Was there all the while
This brings a smile
Looking for so long
My actions both right or wrong
Has made me
This man I wished to be
That I now see
Finding ones self takes time
Then life becomes the rhyme
Things start to fall into place
Brings a smile to my face
