Write Things Down

Lived Past My Potential

I’m sorry to all the teachers that had faith in me
Sorry to all my friends too
I’m getting on the right track now but at twenty-four it seems a little too late sometimes
I shouldn’t have followed so many girls around
Should have made my own path in this life

I was smarter back then and a little older too
Unwilling to take shit from anyone
Anyone other than girls I knew would be wife
I miss them all and wonder what could of been even though I’m truly happy right now

I swear I was smarter then too
I’ve let raw talent go to waste and stagnate into mediocracy
Should have read more books and written a few myself by now
Or at least have a job and a place of my own

I feel like your coming down here to make my future for me
I’m so thankful for that I just wished I could have done it without you
Have a place for you to fit into flawlessly
This will be hard because I’m still a child sometimes

I promise to do the best I can to be with you forever
Always have medications in my system to hide the flaws that nature gave me
Keep you up at night until you’re not upset
This will be something perfect between us
