From Greed to Gray

Caught up in the game, chasing that glimmer,

Lost myself in the shimmer, now I simmer,

Looking back, I see the signs I missed,

Now I break the chains, I insist.

All I cared about was money, blinded by the gleam,

Thought it was the only way to chase my dreams,

But the life I had, it crushed my soul,

Lost my mind, my grip on control.

Falling to the depths, hit rock bottom's door,

Realized I needed more than riches, I swore.

A new chapter starts, leaving greed behind,

Seeking a path, with a renewed mind.

Surprised by life, as I open my eyes,

See the signs, see the lies,

Learning and growing, to make a change,

From a life of greed, to one that's sane.

Never let me go down that road again,

There's more to life, beyond the gains,

Sharing love, spreading hope,

Learning lessons, helping others cope.

Now I see the real prize,

In a life where kindness flies,

From the ashes, I will rise,

With a new rhythm, new tries.
