The Man that Changed

A man who had partied all his life

Mottoed: Sex, Drugs and Rock'N'Roll

To keep his lavish lifestyle

He'd either steal or it was drugs that he sold

Addicted to the power

the money and the women

he'd basically do anything

To continue his life of sinning

Numb to the disappointment

That would eventually wear off in time

Like one big shot of reality

That finally caused him to realize

When rock bottom hit

The rude awakening has no end

That man had been sent to jail

Where he found out he had no friends

Finally he was entirely sober

Thinking clearly about his life

He decided to try things different

He was a man that changed his mind

inspirational

About the Creator

Thomas F

I was shot in the face at point blank range with a double barrel 12 gage during an strong arm robbery that quickly turned into an Attempted Murder. Although I'm missing my right eye and a bullet in my brain. I AM STILL ME & I AM STILL HERE
