I've started at the beginning
So many times
To get to who I want to become
So many beginnings
Starting from scratch
Back to where i came from
They say so many things about me
They can’t ever say I don’t try
Clawed my way out of darkness
Clawed my way
To make it out alive
I’ll start at the beginning
As many times as it takes
For it to stick and power through
I promise
I’ll still make mistakes
I’ll reach peace and happiness
It’s been a long time coming
I'm never afraid to start again
Beginning, is becoming

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
