Now I See

In the beginning years, I was obsessed with self-destruction

It's funny how skilled a ragid edge is at seduction

To think one could have saved me is a lie

A brain who's path was wired for goodbye

A deficency of love became a harder pill to swollow

This made my heart become hollow

One more pill could have killed me

There was good in me that I could not see

In the middle of the 16th year, life suddenly became so clear

A friend I made back in those years had grown to become so dear

In my hands he placed a faith

I fell in love that next April's 28th

Suddenly I had self-realization

I fell into the faithful nation

Senior year approached quickly

My mind became no longer sickly

Our hearts grew fonder everyday

My future turned a different way

College became a self made need

To graduate became my creed

A decleration to face the unknown

And one day sit on the right side of a throne

One more pill could have killed me

But there was good in me that now I see
