A Cloud of Dust

A cloud of dust, flashing right before my eyes. I was finally there, staring up at the screen in astonishment. Waiting for my time to come. I was there, I was finally there and it was all happening. Finally, this was the moment. The biggest moment of my life. I couldn't believe this was happening. THE audition. The audition of a lifetime. American Idol! I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe I was really there. Sitting in the room staring at all of the performers. Barbies, they were all barbies. Everyone dressed up like they were a totally different person. I was a different person. I didn't know how to act, all I knew is that was what I wanted. Right then, right there. I wanted to be the next American Idol. Hollywood, that's all I wanted. Barbies, they were everywhere. But who was I? Was I one of those Barbies? Was I fake like the rest of them? Just there to get what you wanted, to put on a show? No, I was there to be me. To live the life I wanted to live and to finally live out my dreams. Living out my dreams and I couldn't believe it was happening. I was finally there. All of my dreams for this audition was finally becoming a reality. I was amazed. I couldn't believe it. And then, it was all over. That day went faster than any other day. It was flashing right before my eyes, just like a cloud of dust.
