how im feeling today

my life was backward
i hated everyone
i was always pissed
i loved to drink
and pot was my friend
i didnt need anyone
i was off on my own
that was then
this is now
now im facing forward
i dont hate everyone
some people are exceptions
i can no longer drink
and i cant smoke pot
straight edge is the best
thing thats happened to me
i need my parents
and my friends as well
this is now
im usually in a better mood
im not sleeping all the time
im not at risk for date rape
or my own drunk driving
and suicide isnt on my mind
ive got a new life now
i try not to think of my past
im moving on now
i know today isnt gonna be my last
