Just A Year Ago


I kept talking about the past

Although I live in the present

The world is advanced 

I continue to learn new lessons

Just a year ago I remained clueless

On where to go with life

My mindset was ruthless

I had little care for the people around me

As if I was in jail 

Or maybe even county

But once I dug deep

My feelings broke free

I seem to be growing

Like branches on a young tree

Recently I've found a passion

For music and production

I've simply learned to be myself

And ignore a distraction.
