Things I Left Behind

one of these days i will find all the things i left behind
love from my family, love from my friends
my life possiblities with no ends
but i wasnt happy, i wanted more 
i was looking for fun, i was looking to score
i met the fast life and i layed it down
they showed me the ways and i painted the town
you want it, i got it, you need it, im there
the thrills, the excitement, i will sleep when im dead
i still cant believe some of the  that i said
when things changed again and i caught this case
i couldnt turn down the music i had to face
they rolled up ten deep all carrying guns
i had no where to hide, no where to run
i lost the battle, i lost the fight
now im surrounded by people with not a soul in sight
ten foot fences, stainless steal locks
nothing but time to stare at the clocks 
cold concrete walls, cool concrete floors
losing my mind behind these closed doors
bullet proof glass and hard metal bars
forever blocking my veiw of god and his stars
so now here i sit still trying to find
all of the things i left behing

Life

sometimes i am afraid to open my eyes, scared of what i will see
a life full of mistakes, regrets and bad choices that i knew was never right for me
i became someone use to hate
but now i see all the pain i have caused i am able to relate
i screwed up alot and god knows that i cant go back 
i just need to start my recovery so i can get my life back on track
i need my family the ones i pushed away
because they are the ones that actually worried each and everyday
never knowing if they would get a visit.or a call saying i was dead
im sure that the thoughts were played over and over agian in there head
these things a family should never have to endure
so letting them know im truly sorry is the only thing i must do for sure
its time to be the wife, daughter, sister i know that i can be
because i want a family and there really gonna need me
so here i am taking these steps to lay the drugs down 
cause i am still to young to end up six feet underground
so off to prison i go with loved ones by my side
so i can be a better person and learn my  lesson on this ride

Thoughts Inside Those Walls

as i lay here and wonder how many times i went wrong
i realized i have lived the drug life way to long 
i lived day to day chacing that high! for what?
i have lost everything and now i know why
getting bit by that dog is what kept me sick
my life wasted tick.. tick... tock...
they say that one is to many and a thousand is never enough
i never dreamed trying to quit would ever be this tough
never knowing when your first time will be your life
why is it so hard to put this life in the past
this problem i have will it ever go away?
its something i live with each and everyday
when i look back on all the things i have ever done
all the regrets i have all weight a ton
all the stealing, lying, ducking catches up so fast
thinking if only i could get that last blast
weather i am smoking, shooting, or snorthing a line 
now i know i cant stay numb all the time 
i have turned my back on everyone i love 
now i look at the sky above
please give me the strength to get this monkey off my back
its time i grow up and get my life back on track
in the end its only jails, death, and institutions
so living a clean and sobor life is the only solution
so the next time i think about getting high 
i am taking a risk that this time i could die
