take a dose of my mind, your thoughts become altered.
the days i excel, the seconds i've faltered.
the hopes and the dreams, left alone at the alter.
my words are my ropes, used to tie up the halter.
from which, i'll hang, the me i despised.
who covered up his emotions, left smothered in lies.
don't get me wrong, my life's better than ever.
the new me is honest, to himself and whoever.
whoever i meet, what ever the day.
the old me was poison, emotions decayed.
this smile is staying, this mindset is golden.
these feet, standing strong on the path i have chosen.
