IF ONLY – REASONS FOR LEAVING
If only I hadn’t quit.
If only I hadn’t got fired.
If only I hadn’t punched the lead hand who said I was slow.
I wasn’t slow, I was hung over. There’s a difference
If only I had showed up
If only I hadn’t
If only I had done what I was told. I would have
but the people I worked for were stupid.
If only my mom hadn’t died.
If only my kids didn’t get sick.
If only I’d taken my meds, I meant to but
I’m not schizophrenic. Am I? Who said that?
If only the plant hadn’t closed.
If only the beer wasn’t so good.
If only my wife hadn’t left me, it wasn’t my fault.
I only hit her once.
If only I wasn’t laid off.
If only the guy I worked for didn't go bankrupt.
If only Wal-Mart paid twenty-seven dollars an hour.
It’s what I’m worth.
The reason is clear, I was right they were wrong,
If only they had known

A man who sounds at the brink from hearing others who have gone past there brink. A great write presented upon the stage in the theartre of human frailites. Keep up the good work.

great words if you listen to your own words you can solve the issue, I know that sounded like me at one time, you cant see what you are till you are not that any more.
