It's time for some changes.
My life has been a roller coaster.
With twists and turns.
Ups and downs.
Throwing me all over the place.
The whiplash giving me a headache.

But that's what life is...
A big headache
And everyone has that one crucial thing
That acts as their aspirin.
Whether it be...
Adrenaline
Drugs
Caffeine
Creatine
Books
People­
Isolation

But for me...
I have yet to discover my aspirin.
I've tried drugs.
I've tried isolation.
I've tried people.
They don't work for me.

So now it's time for change.
I need to find something to cure me
Of this insufferable migraine we call life.
Of course...I can't do any of that now.
I'm still a teenager.
With responsibilities
And obligations

I want to grow up.
So I can throw my life away.
And do what makes ME happy.
Now THAT'S what I call change.
