Proud to be

I've been straight edge for over 3 years now and I don't think there's any other topic that's as much discussed as straight edge. it's getting ridiculous. later this evening I saw somebody complaining about a guy who put "straight edge 4 lyf" on his facebook. has it really come this far? that you can't let others know that you're proud about it? it's not like he's doing any harm with that. as long as he didn't attack non-straight people personally for smoking/drinking/whatsoever, there's nothing wrong with letting people know you're straight edge.

“if you’re straight edge, be proud of that. if you’re not straight edge, be proud of the person you are and the things you’ve accomplished.”

yes, I feel self doubt sometimes, it courses through my veins. second guessing my direction and questioning each step I take. and yes, yes I feel the pressure too but I have faith in myself, and I made a choice. and everything you said, was it meant to just change with the wind? you see the world through jaded eyes and thats not the way I want to live. proud to be, yeah I’m still proud to be. I made a choice and my choice is to stand. stand fucking hard. yes, as the years pass by I feel the loss. so many people slip away and it hurts, it hurts, but I still know what I’m about. And I’ll say it again, I’m proud to be, that’s right. and everything you said, was it meant to just change with the wind? I thought we shared the same ideals, but now I barely know who you are. proud to be, and you know it. proud to be. I still wear an X on my hand and you know that I’m still proud to be.
