Redemption!

You know, sometimes it's hard to just move on

Forgive and forget, isn't always the status quo

Maybe that's why my expectations were dramatically low

I once had choices consisting of a variety of sorts

Now I’m facing eviction and maybe even the courts

It's not the fact that I've cascaded this far 

But the simple fact that I chose not to stand up and fight

Which has left me with no dream to make things right

Now I'm afraid, uncertain of what I might be getting into

But I know life won't stop on the road to continue 

Which is what I plan to do now that I've stooped so low

Because of some terrible choices that dealt me a tragic blow

To those things I say, "be gone" and now I want you to know

Today is a new day and the past won’t stop me

My new dream to succeed is now more likely

I've devised a new plan that doesn't include despair you see

But the man in the mirror who looks just like me

Same destination with no hesitation

A man who's not perfect and knows frustration 

He who has made mistakes and dealt with fakes 

Is now ready for the world and to take his place

At the throne of passions that will be accomplished

"MY" reality this will be and that's a promise!
