I don't know where my life is going,

But I'm very confidant

And I'm not scared 

Becoming

It's not where you arrive, but what you become…

Do it, as an experiment

Do it, in defiance

People carry anger.

People don't get angry.

You take it from somebody and you give it to somebody. You keep on handing it from one person to another until someone extinguishes it.
