Thinking Back (circa 2000)

Looking back on my life
I'm sadeend to know
Thank I am to blame for a lot of strife.

I've made so many rash choices-
So sure that I knew best.
I never listened to wiser voices.

It's hard to accept everything I've done...
Half of it I never even understood -
I was only trying to have some fun.

Today I realized
That I've made a multitude of mistakes
And hurt so many along the way.

Life is a circle of trials.
I'm still so very young.
Therefore, I must still travel many miles.

So looking ahead to the future, I hope
that I can be a stronger person
Relying on the past to help me overcome it all.
