A Decision

I made a choice years before I found my voice and that decision has been held strong by a commitment to keep holding on, could have shrugged it off like the rest a couple years later just to keep with the pack

I felt a connection and found something to believe in
Always questioned myself till I found where I belong

This was a decision made consciously of my own volition

I found a place to call my own
One dreadful night I swore would be my last
I felt the weight lift off the world
And put this x across my hand
Your fun, it leaves scars, once you bury your friends it really tears you apart

I'm still holding
Onto this life that always seemed to feel right
When things are broken
It’s the one thing that feels permanent
Your fun, it’s taught me, that to be myself I’ll never pick up that drink
My decision is made

I made a choice
Born in the wake of tragedy and pain
To forever seize control and remain the master of my fate
A decision to grow
A decision to believe
A decision to embrace who I was meant to be

A definite choice shaping the person I am
A decision was made to be straight edge
