Once I thought I held all the cards
The ace was mine to play
But the tables have turned
And I am now left holding the joker
If only I had made better choices
And taken different roads
Perhaps I would not be here now
Wishing I had the options offered to me again
There is so much I would do differently
So may bridges I would not have burned
I would have kept my mind focused on the goals I had
I should have truely cared for the people who cared for me
Instead of relying on my own superiority
I cant do it alone
I see that now
But its too late to rekindle past sparks
Those fires are long since out
I wish i had half the TRUE friends I thought I did
They are few and far between
And not to be triffled with when you find one
Mutual respect is the key
Love and be willing to be loved
Dont turn away from those who want to help you
Sometimes, you cant see your own flaws
Because you are so immersed in your self
Cant see the forest for the trees syndrome
Always be willing to hear the other side
No matter how right you may think you are
It will never hurt you to take the time to listen
Allow yourself to hurt
I spent alot of my life escaping pain
I can see that now
I would do whatever I needed to
Just to avoid facing the problems I knew where there
But the funny thing is
There is no escape form lifes problems
You can run but you cant hide
They will always find you
And they seem to find you at your weakest time
When you are the least able to deal with them
Sweep them under the rug long enough
And eventually they make for a very uncomfartable walk
Till at last you decide to face them
And are amazed by the magnitude of them
What would have been minor problems
Turn into major life changing events
Seemingly overnight
Hopefully you find find the courage to face them
Before they overwhelm you
And leave you feeling sorry and dispair.
I am writing these things just to get some things off my chest and maybe to help someone else who is not so far removed from their problems to turn around.
Thanks for listening
