(one more from under the troll bridge )

I have some regrets from my younger days
where I was lost, caught up in wicked ways
I was wandering the streets of bleakness
where to show emotions a sign of weakness

to be a man had to be tough, had to fight
living in the shadows hiding from the light
corners and alleys, embracing the darkness
losing my sight in self imposed blindness

kept wrapping dark around me like a cloak
drowning in one more drank one more toke
don't know if more afraid of living or dying
I wouldn't admit it but inside I was crying

turning into a tangled web with no escape
only way out was to claw and to scrape
I was lucky, and with God's good grace
I lived long enough to end this disgrace

When we are happy with who we are now, we have to thank the past obstacles for getting us here. If we aren't happy with who we are now, that is regretful.

and he draws me out of the shadows once again with his insightful, revealing words. Words a lot of us can relate to.
