I Get Terrible Butterflies. Before I Go

I Hate Birthdays. It's So Funny, People Always Come Up To Me, "hey! It's My Birthday!" But When It's My Birthday, I Don't Want To Talk About It, I Don't Wanna Tell Anybody.

Every Day I Lugged My Backpack Through The Halls, Waiting For The Final Bell. Then I'd Race Home And Hole Up In My Room, Playing The Drums And The Piano, Composing Music.

No Matter What Your Age And No Matter Where You Come From, Everyone Can Change The World In Some Way, Whether It's Being A Mentor To Someone Younger Than You Or Someone That Doesn't Have As Much Experience As You. If You're Passionate Enough, You Can Do Whatever You Want And Definitely Change The World.

No Matter Who We Are, No Matter What Our Circumstances, Our Feelings And Emotions Are Universal. And Music Has Always Been A Great Way To Make People Aware Of That Connection. It Can Help You Open Up A Part Of Yourself And Express Feelings You Didn't Know You Were Feeling. It's Risky To Let That Happen. But It's A Risk You Have To Take-because Only Then Will You Find You're Not Alone.

My School Life Was Very Much A Wandering Experience. I Was Having Trouble In School And I Was Not Making A Lot Of Friends. So Coming Home And Actually Improvising On The Piano And Just Coming Up With Melodies Was An Escape For Me.
