The Baring Of My Soul

My life used to be sweeter than an orange peel When I was younger and before I knew what was real All the little mistakes that I made when I was little They do not count because I did not know any better Because when I was younger I thought that I was clever Ever since I reached the eighth grade My life has taken many sharp turns Long, hard and impulsive ones All of which I have learned from But I'm only human And I realize that I make mistakes What kind of world would I be living in If things were ran in a different way And I'm not going to lie I'll admit that in most cases that I was wrong And that most of my problems were self inflicted But I just pulled myself together and stayed strong Back then I was young and I acted on impulse But now in the eyes of the law I am seen as an adult And unfortunately I have a past that I am not proud of But that's just part of growing up Or is it? Sometimes things just happen and there is no way you can stop it But let me just get to the point I have assaulted a principal... so they say I have been expelled from school I've been to jail for that And domestic assault too I've fought with my mom And I've fought with my dad I guess you can say that a normal life Is something that I've never had I've been on depression pills I've cursed out my parents... but who doesn't? I've called my mom a bitch Which I know she will never forgive me for I am always arguing with everybody in the house I just want things to get better I guess I never really saw these things coming But I've learned from them and that's all that matters In the future I'll try to be a better person And try to walk away when problems arise
