I ran, not looking back.

I wasn’t running from them, but from myself.

From what I’ve chosen, what I’ve done.

I realize that it is not my surroundings who choose my perspective,

It is I, I make my fate, I choose my destiny.

For what effort I put in, surely I will get the same thing out.

If I put in sadness, that is what will eject.

So right here, right now, I take a vow,

Not to put in sadness or grief,

But to be so happy, so joyous, people won’t help but stop and stare.
