No Easy Answers (Interlude)

It's one thing to say I'll be better And quite another to actually do it I was once an uncontrolled pathological liar Who manipulated people for attention And yes, I was young, and I was still learning how to be a part of this world But it's never been okay to do those things And for years, my greatest fear has been that maybe some part of me still is that person I don't expect forgiveness, and I don't expect your pity There are plenty of good folks who are far more deserving of both More than anything, I wish for peace A way to move past the internal turmoil I've dealt with all my life But maybe that will always be just a little bit beyond my reach The more I think about it, the more I believe that there will never be an easy answer for me No divine truths, no comfortable revelations of the self I'm always going to be the guy that hurts today and loves tomorrow And maybe the only one who can decide whether I'm good or not Is you So whatever judgement you make of me, know that I accept it Because maybe this journey never ends And that's okay
