The Old Me

The Old Me

As I sit here on my couch
I look back and see my reflection in the window
I take notice of this person
Someone I don't even know
I try to look back even further
Trying to figure out where I went wrong
Remembering all my mistakes
Regretting each one of them
So many bridges burnt
All to ashes
Somewhat like my hopes and dreams
All because I lost my better judgment
And wanted to live rule free
Look where it got me ...
Reminiscing on the past
I realize now I literally smoked my life away
My memories lie within smoked stained glass
I can blame the shards for the pain
But I can't surpass the bitterness of reality
Life is what you make it
I may have lost myself along the way
But I can still make a change
It all starts with me
