The Way I Feel

The way i feel seems to real 
The way people love to lie, kill, and steal.
And if they knew it's not such a thrill
So go and try to get on an army drill.
This is how i feel so i got to keep it real!

The way i felt seemed to sad,
And half the time i was always mad,
Because people loved to talk about my past,
And if they knew me i'll advise you not to brag!
This is how i felt so some people considered me bad.

The way i feel seemed to be due to my past.
And at times it was a blast,
But i knew it wouldn't last 
And then everything top me began to go bad.
This is how i felt and it should make you sad!

The way i feel i know i can change,
But it will always be hard to rearrange
because most of my little life has been in pain
And now it is time for me to gain,
This is how i felt and now i have changed!
