Have you made me a better man?

Man's bitter tea

Have you made me a better man?

Heck no!

You’ve made me question everything under the sun.

You’ve made me wish my life was over and done.

You’ve given me nightmares that I didn’t imagine fathomable.

You’ve made me lose my mind so many times, at this point, it’s incalculable.

Have you made me a better man?

Heck no!

You’ve crushed my heart again and again, to the point of oblivion.

You’ve made me wish that I was not even a Floridian.

You've made me cry so many nights away.

You've given me many awful memories and I wonder if they'll forever stay?

No longer do you have power over me.

Over and out...
