YET, THEY DEPENDED ON ME

i was a drunk
i was a coward...sometimes.
i was irreligious
sacreligious
sanctimonious
disinterested
a rake
a fake
Yet, they depended on me.

i gambled
i womanized
i snored
i hated
i spewed
i laughed
i knew
Yet, they depended on me.

i struggled
i worked
i lied
i smirked
i haggled
i professed
my life was sometimes
a mess
But, they depended on me.

i made it so very far
over many roads
it was bizarre
i hung in
it is true
i did it
for you
Because, you depended on me.
