I had reasons for doing the things I did.

I didn’t know it then but now I see

Sometimes, things happen to unlock mysteries.

Often the flaws that trip us bring us release.

I had to keep going I could not quit

By any means necessary, I pulled thro.

But what is this lump I feel in my throat?

Is it a symptom of guilt or plain bull?

Should I ride my backtrail in slow mo?

I had ideas that could make the world roll.

But I had no means I lacked resources.

So I got creative and hit the road.

I struck a deal with fate but nemesis

Had issues with my methods and ethics.

I didn’t know what I know now back when.

I wonder if it would have made any difference.
