another year

how far have we come and how far did we fall

from being instatutionalized

to finding someone to love

its been a crazy year.

there was love and tragedy

lost some and remembered some

kept it the same

with it i cant complain

ive been blessed for another year

lord i dont know what i did to deserve it

ive fallen out of your light

but still you keep that hope for me

i can see it now

i can see it now

i tried to take it all for selfish resons

but out of it i got another chance

and a new love,

a better understanding of life

of friends and of family

im not there yet

where i once was

but rome wast built in a day either

tragic as it seems

i cant help but wonder what went wrong

and what went through the minds of others

i cant help but feel sad sometimes

so far but so close

i cant help it

i try my best mom and dad

thats all i can tell you

things are better than when they started

things definatly arent perfect

but from down here it looks better than when i was up there

no more complaints

no more being mad

whats the point

another year and all i want is to keep positive

another year and all i want to do is stay sane

things may chage but thats to be expected

people may change but thats growing up

places may change but thats reality

people come and go

but its the memories that need to last forever not them

remember the good

but dont forget the bad

the "sweet and the sour" as they say

you need a balance

for a while the world tasted sour

but god it hasnt been this sweet in so long...
