After going through pain...you come out on the other side - reflecting on the process can yield some interesting results...it can be pretty cathartic, too.

lyrics

Calling in favors
w/m Bryan Stevenson

It’s about time
It’s about me
You might think it selfish
But to avoid insanity
I’ll stop waiting
For a change and
And a long overdue, heartfelt apology

I’ve asked myself
How did I wind up here?

Now I’m calling in favors,
Gone are yesterday’s fair-weather friends
Without eyes open
It’s hard to see how this tragedy
Will end

You avoided
Conversations
That could somehow lead
To someone accepting blame
I’ve listened
And what you’ve spoken
All sounds like
A never-ending game

Now I’m calling in favors
Thanks to yesterday’s fair-weather friends
My eyes are wide open
And it’s clear to see how this tragedy
Will end
