It’s always easy for me to make a mistake,
It’s an event people expect they will speculate,
I always feel like I about to drown
It’s just a matter of time before I let someone down
It never seems possible for a good outcome
The destructive me is never fun
“Supportive friends” seem to fade away
I guess I can’t blame them anyway
When you let so many down repeatedly
They assume that’s me immediately
What people neglect to see,
Is this momentous change growing inside of me
I’m growing; I’m learning to stay free
Of trouble and balancing my responsibility
It’s a first for me to feel on the rise
And for those who cut ties, accused me of lies,
Just may be surprised,
When they see I’ve grown bigger than this town
And I stay clear of the things that took me down
Never again will I shed a tear or wear a frown
Ill be standing up where I used to be
Then you’ll be coming back to say,
“What’s up? To me
Good luck waiting for my reply
All you’ll be getting from me is a wave goodbye
