"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 til 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"
