In My Life

I've never been a common man, to those who viewed my life
I've known a grief, that few men have, of death, of fear and strife
I faced a war, and came back home, to find more problems there
Disgraced, lost in addiction, and no one seemed to care
I suffer through addiction, and troubles that it brought
But won against my demons, from lessons I was taught
I found that it don't change your life, it only helps you cope
It would have been much easier, surrendering to dope!
I've never wished to harm a man, who'd given me no cause
Or turned my back upon a friend, who asked me for a pause
I've always tried to do what's right, and steer away from wrong
Tried to teach my kids the same, so they would grow up strong
I've known a life of sacrifice, but had my pleasures too
Tried to live my life with pride, no matter what i do
Troubles tried to sway me, and keep me from my goals
Those I learned to deal with too, it taught me to be bold
I've always tried to share a smile, no matter how I felt
Even through my hardships, and things that I was dealt
I learned that all my troubles, were from choices I had made
Always tried to do my best, no matter how it played
In life, I learned humility, sacrifice and pride
The values that allow you to emerge the other side
Making you a decent man, that most are glad to know
The rest I'll try to understand, and make up as I go
