I have been stupid,
i've made many mistakes.
I'm not that girl anymore,
I don't raise the stakes.
Back then I didn't care,
I was nothing but troubled.
Went through some bad shit,
made my life all jumbled.
I learned the hard way,
stopped playing risk.
I kept telling myself that I never want to be like this.
I quit the random sex,
Quit over drinking booze.
I had a choice to make,
Do I want to win or lose?
Did it all on my own,
I've come a long way.
I needed to care for myself,
Take it day by day.
Self loathing and a broken past,
it messed me up in different ways.
Had my fair share of consequence,
that's how karma pays.
