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
