Born Anew

My Mum told me you don't want to grow old and bitter,

The righteous ones are always forced to submit, become a quitter.

Move on and shut your mouth, wasting my breath,

See change overnight like a sober man on crystal meth.

Brainwashed men with lunatic wives, 

Happens both ways, so it's no sexist jibes.

Trying to remain positive but finding it so very hard,

Shaun's an immovable object that's foot and leg scarred.

Just where in the hell are we going as a society?

I've felt differently since starting the sobriety.

Can be personal and reflectional, 

My life needs to be more correctional.

No, not needing prison or a facility of reform, 

God, why have I felt different since I was born?

Gathering my thoughts but brain becomes clouded,

Stop listening to views with no basis and unfounded.

Put the past behind you as regret can also destroy us too,

Feeling like I've still got a long way to go before being born anew.
