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.

I like how you wrote about staying true to yourself when no one else seems to be. That is really how the world is today; people forgetting who they are. So it was nice to have somebody write about being themselves in the midst of people putting on an act.
ReplyDeleteI like how you wrote about life being like a cloud of dust, going by really fast. It's very true. It's cool that you wrote about living your dreams. It almost seems like too many people give up too quickly.
