TO WHOEVER

"Wakeup (Wake up,wake up, wake up)
Am I dreaming?(Wake up, wake up) Wake up."

I crash landed but I think I got my head back. What planet have I landed on? Where have I gone? Where did I go wrong?

To whoever finds this message

"I remember the life I had in Guam (Yeah)
The beach, the way the water felt (Woo)
The warm sunlight on my skin
Shit, life was pretty good
I really miss those days."

I went from "TO MYSELF" to "TO WHOEVER."

Dream as long as you want but don't make my mistakes.

I don't even know what to think now. There's been a disconnect within myself.

My life story consisted of change. I was a change in other's eyes.

"But then again, I hated school
I hated how people shouted at
Me for looking different
Calling me names
Just because of my skin color you know?

But I didn't really care
As long as my mom and dad were smiling
I thought nothing could go wrong (What could go wrong?)"

I went through a change.

"2007 February 4th
I was packing my things
And I was leaving for Korea
I didn't know why at the time
All I knew was I had to say goodbye
To the place I called home and say hello to"

{Interlude}
Mister sunshine, I ain't got no time, yeah
Mister fast car, I don't want no ride, no
Mister city lights, I don't want no fight
I don't want to hide, I don't want to lie

Life changed.

I just always felt incomplete. With me being Korean and all, there were different standards, different expectations.

Since the day I was born, it's like I had a haircut waiting for me.

A military uniform awaiting me.

I just wanna know why.

"Why I had to enlist in the army
Before I could even speak
Or why my dad had to be diagnosed
With something he couldn't beat."

Cancer.

Honestly, it felt like death.
But he was facing death, so I was confused.

I'm always confused. Always thinking to myself.

It can lead to other things. It's kind of dangerous. It's like a "For better or worse" type of situation.

How can a simple function of the brain hold so much danger and possibility?

But is it for the best? Are these changes for the better?

"Where do we go?
Where do we go?
(Where do we go?)
Too many questions
With no answers (Uh; yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Where do we go? (Yeah)
God, I don't know (Go)
Where do I go?"

Where did she go? And where am I now? There's so much to figure out.

About myself.

But what I do know is that I have had success and joy in my life as well. My music has taken off.

Maybe love did take me somewhere?
Maybe she did.

"I guess a lot has happened since then
But here I am asking myself the same questions."
