I may be a dreamer but I'm not the only one- John Lennon


She smiles as the wind caresses her hair

Her eyes shine as she looks upto the sky

She holds her teddy bear tightly in her hand

Her lips curl into a smile at the thought of life

 

She frowns at the thought of school

Her eyes fill with tears smudging her dark eyeliner

She pushes her dark dyed hair back

Her arms are filled with cuts

 

She's been told she's talentless again

Her songs are all she has

She dropped out of school years ago

Her music is her only hope

 

She lies on the ground ready to give up

Her phone rings on the couch

She picks it up thinking this is the last call she'll ever receive

We want to sign you to our label

She is told by a distant voice

 

She performs for thousands of fans every night

Her eyes have got their shine back

She walks into her bedroom after kissing her kids goodnight

Her husband smiles and takes her into his arms

She's finally truly content as she drifts off to sleep

I wanted to just show how quickly and drastically life can change and also how dreams can eventually come true even when you least expect it.
