I did good
I did bad
And I also grew
This is the story of how I made it through

I was a diamond in the rough
And on the outside I always acted tough
I was always getting into stuff
But on the inside I was a ball of fluff

I worked hard in everything I did
But then I started to grow lazy
I even started to fib
That's when my future started to seem hazy

I didn't have many responsibilities
But I can't say I was always responsible
There were times I could've shown my abilities
But instead I acted unacceptable

I strayed from the path of God
Surrounded myself with bad influences
And All I could do back then was nod
Yet no one noticed the subtle differences

However through self reflection
I found my flaws
And without hesitation
I worked towards a new cause

I still worked just as hard
But I'm different from before
And I can still be a lazy tub of lard
But I've grown to be something more

However I didn't do this on my own
I had help from someone very well known
He goes by many names but we'll say Jesus Christ
I can do all things through him who strengthens me
And I'm becoming the best me I can be
