Strife
Today is the first day of the rest of my life,
until now I've survived by strife,
I've battled my fair share of demons and suffered their wrath,
took a mighty hard fall and couldn't make it back
false pride kept me spiralling and spiralling down
I wallowed in self pity when I finally hit the ground
with the realisation, I was to blame
I dug myself a hole to hide in shame
guilt kept me dormant in my shallow grave
my pathetic existence is not worthy to save.
