I try to drive a straight line
But I must admit I slip up sometimes
I lose my stance and act out of character for this kind of man
It is then that I come crashing down
I start stumbling back towards the ground
I have flashbacks, I do a 360 and turn my butt around
Yeah I make mistakes and the truth is
They just seem to be one of those things
Like love
That we were all destined to make
But my truth, I cannot hide
The truth is, I try
I try hard to make that truth a lie
I try my best not to make the mistakes
When I do slip up, I try to be quick to fix what I break
I am trying my hardest to be the best that I can
But still sometimes I slip up
I get flustered and talk too tough
I never am trying to make it pour like rain
Its just sometimes my actions make me seem insane
You know doing it over and over again
Falling into the same trap now that you did back then
Yes sometimes that is me
Its true sometimes
I am the definition of insanity
But we are all are partially insane
We all get stuck in our own cycles
And play the same losing game
I just feel blessed to know that the wounds do not remain
And that with time things change
The worst we are left with
A scar of what came
Yeah sometimes I seem to forget who I am
And when I catch myself
I find a corner and sit on my hands
I reflect and I reflect hard
I reopen the wounds as I stare at the scars
I begin to daydream and its then that I realize
Things in the rear view mirror are often closer than they seem
That is when I step on the gas
I change direction and I do it fast
I know I look crazy as I zip about
But I know where I am headed now
I just remembered, I already know how
I slip but it only lasts for a fraction
Then that system kicks in and I regain my traction
Most times I am living this life right, and it is then that I am living it well
But the truth is, its only because I often fail
I fall from grace but while I go on that journey
I maintain my faith
And that is the reason God seems to hold my place
I fall but it is then
That is when the lesson begins
It is then that I learn the formula to win
Because the truth is
I want to be the best as I play out my part
I want to have the same passion for this an artist has for his or her art
I am not trying to play with this
I just try to be perfect
And often I fail at it
So I am thankful that this gift
True love
Has a lifetime warranty with it.

Thank you so much, if only you know how i sit here and hesitate to post but these comments make it worthwhile. Funny these are just stories of things that happen to me, I slipped yesterday while driving through the rain and that experience led to this post.
Happy new years!
Carl.
