Outside Looking In

As I stand on the outside looking in
At a man having nothing to lose
Spending his days recalling his past
Leaving him totally confused

Thinking of a time when life was great
Having money, love, and fame
The sudden drop of a dime
These things all faded away

Recalling a time he had no worries
His days spent just having fun
His days now spent worried about family
Missing his precious son

You see this man made some choices
Now Regretting them every day
Because these choices he made
Have now taken his freedom away

When on the outside looking in
Things are always much easier to see
But to me they’re so hard to accept

For this man which I speak of is me
