I've made up my mind,
And there's nothing that you or my mind can do to stop me,
You may slow me down,
You may **** my lights,
But I will continue with the same passion as I feel now.

I've made up my mind,
To do something better than now,
Staying up until the early morning,
To dream of better years and nostalgic memories.

I've made up my mind,
I want to play keyboard,
And get up onto the stage,
To pour my words into the speakers,
Just to let people know that they are not alone.

I've made up my mind,
Even if I crash and burn,
No matter how much sludge,
I won't be a slave in a non-profit job,
I won't be stuck inside my own head,
I'll explore the world and see new things.

I've made up my mind,
I hope you're coming with me.
Let it be remembered...that on my 16th birthday

I told myself I'd do something more in this world.

I told myself that I'd ignore all the adults and their doubts.

I told myself that I can be better than this depressed head.

I told myself that I can make a change for the better, for myself and this world, even if it's minuscule.

I hope that when I'm 30 years old...I can see this again and smile,
because I was successful...
Just maybe...
But we'll just have to see, hm?
