Bad Decisions By Ian Lewis Copestick

 

As I sit here 

getting older 

and older.

Smoking joint after 

joint.

As I look back 

upon my life 

I see bad decision

after bad decision.

Leading me to 

addiction and ill

health.

But, I ask myself 

Would I have been 

happier being straight 

and clean.

Getting a good job 

earning good money ?

No, I don't think so, 

I'm happy now.

that's enough for me.
