Oh how easy to blame someone
For your own stupidity and your
Willingness to go along just because
Everyone else is and now three of
My best friends are pregnant but to
My shame I got away with it and
There was no joy about that but
Regret for my friends who were
Lost in the moment and found out
Later that nothing was worth the
Few seconds of ecstasy and the
Many hours a regret will never make
Up for the moments, we thought we
Were on top of the world. We had
Been warned but evil overtook goodness
And now we hope that the light will
Overcome the darkness which prevails
Oh we’re not the only ones does little
To overcome the misery we find
Ourselves in. the friendships break up
And the blame game begins and soon
We are alone to think things over
By ourselves. We are on a diet of
Despair wondering how we could be
So foolish and now have consequences
To pay. Maybe we were lucky; maybe they
Were unlucky, but soon the world will
Be blessed with three miracles and feelings
Will change and light will overcome
All the depression. People will no longer
Look at me as if I were the guilty one
And I can jump back on the Merry-go-round
Of life remembering not to roll the dice
