Finally, finally, finally.
I did it.
What you said I couldn’t do,
Wasn’t good enough to do,
I did. I made Region,
And it’s no thanks to you.

To everyone who said that
I would fail, here: Symphonic Band,
Fifth chair. One audition down,
Eight to go. You don’t get to tell me
That I can’t do it. Because I already
Proved you wrong.

So take this as proof.
I will not give up,
I will not listen to you,
I will let you convince me that I can’t do it,
I will not let you tell me what I can or can’t do it.
Take this as proof that you should believe in me too.
