It's up to me.


It has become the time for me to step up

To face what I have been pushing away for so long

I'm scared of what could happen

But finally something has connected with me

Now I'm not so scared to make my surroundings change

I'm ready to push myself to what I've wanted to be

For to long I have hid from its light

Everythings okay for now

I don't want to mess everything up and start from the bottom again

I've learned

And I'm ready for what life has in store for me
