I don't want to throw my life away
To give up on my plans.
I don't want to be forever in the background
Overlooked by the majority.
I want to make a name for myself
To be recognised by the mainstream.
I want to makes an impact on someone
Start the domino chain.
I want to stand up for a cause
To showcase the world's problems.
I want to speak for those unable
To explain the beauty in silence.
I want to be proud of myself.
But by living in this mediocre world,
Will human pride
Take me where I want?
