Only a Dream

         The crowds roar fills my ears as I walk out on the stage. My heart leaps with excitement and confidence. I take the mic in my hand and say into the mic.

         "How ya'll doing tonight?' The crowd goes insane. Screaming my name. A smile forms on my face automatically. I look out into the crowd and see people who I don't know but I love them all.

         "My name's Meeca Gray!" I pause for everyone to quiet down. Satisfied by the expectant stairs, I continue on.

         "I'm going to sing a song for you guys tonight. As you listen I want you guys to get only one message. No matter how bad things get, no matter how hard it is to go through every sing day,you are not alone!" I hear the wild cries of my fans and grab my guitar.

Tripping and stumbling through every day

The names that they call me, they wont go away

the pain that they cause

Don't they know when enough's enough?



Crying and screaming through every night

the tears that keep spilling are blurring my sight

they don't try to stop

but I will not show them my pain



I will not change in the slightest

I will not bend to their will

though they will push and try to change me

they don't know my strengths

and I will never back down



Laughing and teasing through every hour

smiling pretending it doesn't taste sour

to have all my pride

poring straight down the drain



I will not change in the slightest

I will not bend to their will

though they will push and try to change me

they don't know my strengths

and I will never back down



Every day I walk down these halls

Every day I go through it all

over and over again

but I won't be their victim

I will fight to beat them

Because I know I'm not alone



I will not change in the slightest

I will not bend to their will

though they will push and try to change me

they don't know my strengths

and I will never back down

         My fans are silent only for a second. I hear their approval of my song and tears stream down my face. Overwhelmed by my feelings.

         "Thank You!"

         I open my eyes, look around, and sigh loudly.

         "It was just a dream" A single tear traces its trail down my cheek as I drift off to sleep.
