I thought life was over  
but then another had begun  
when my back was turned  
 
I was certain I left the Past behind  
but there was still plenty ahead  
shrewdly disguised as Future  
 
I believed I was done  
making a complete jackass of myself  
but realized I wasn't ass-whole material  
 
I was sure I was beyond making excuses  
but ... but ... but .....
