That was then and this is now
Mistakes were made and those I do own
But if you expect me to respect you
After all that's been said and done
Think again
A defeatist mindset only leads to defeat
Every time no matter how big or small
There's no such thing as a quick fix
Get over yourself, and get ready for the next fall
I dreamt to be part of the 27 club
I know their pain I know their sorrow
Is there truth in these words
Or am I projecting the past unforgiven
Deepest feelings I can't quite admit
Why can't I give myself some needed compassion
Questions without answers always plague my mind
Clearing this fog has become so demanding
So many questions I don't want to miss
Without them, do I even exist
