In this mind guiding,
my heart and soul are riding.
A wrong turn taken,
might leave my soul shaken.
Life got my attention,
it wasn't with 
an honorable mention,
it was in the scary fact of
locked up detention.

Over the years,
I've only hurt myself.
Stupidity and hate use to guide,
I was in for the ride.
The devil was the evil toad,
that guided me down the road.

Self inflicted pain,
hardly no kind of gain.
Down came the rain,
still I stayed sane.
The world kicked hard,
but I did my part.
I was my own worst,
following an evil thirst.

I don't drink anymore,
kicked the evil toad out the door.
The world still kicks,
but I've learned new tricks.
I removed my foot,
out of the kicking boot.
