some are helpful and but then are gone

some are useless but linger on


I depend on myself and keep my own counsel

and I'm still in shit but without more hassle


call me friend or call me foe

I'll tell you exactly where to go


especially if in friendship's name

you'll try to drag me down with you in shame


this is where the waters part

the choices made

the repentance starts


and before the next round of living begins

as the past begins to fade

you'll see which angel smiles and which demon grins
