I’m Back

I wish I could go back.

The choices I made,

I wish I could change them.

The puzzle pieces didn’t fit,

I gotta rearrange them,

But life’s not a game where you just start over 

From scratch.

Every choice that you make got strings attached.

The things I know now are things I wish I would of knew

Before I got caught up in a catch 22

Between a rock and hard place.

I tried to be a man and stand on my own 

But I just ended up falling on my face. 

But falling and failing ain’t my final destination

Because I am in prime post it on for restoration.

In order to be restored, I had to be destroyed

And left void 

Of any impurities flaws and imperfections

So I can be filled with promise, principals, and direction

And I’m on a upward trend now. 

But every new level there’s a new devil 

trying to knock me down 

To get me to wear a frown.

Never. Because I’m more happier and healthier then 

Ever

I’m back and I’m here forever
