The Perfect Smile

i took so many bad choices in life i screwed up even when i had a wife i can play the game of blame But its time i face the shame Disappointment i have left My life now is in a cleft In my being the sun has set From now on only sadness i will get We know about sins of the father i pray God won’t let it go further It’s all ripped open raw Now everybody saw A flawed human being Running up the hills fleeing Away from eyes judging Hiding all my smudging Doing drugs to feel better But being called by a debtor Selling your soul to the highest bidder Praying the debtor will reconsider Losing loved ones in this awful race Still barely have courage to save face
