Pushing Barriers
The fresh summer morning air seems to linger there
The smell of new possibilities
But are those possibilities reachable
As she rises up each morning she decides if she will chase her dreams or become a coward
Around her is a broken home,people full of anger, and saddness
How can one become something so successful without having an environment full of hope
Each day she goes to school seeing others who seem to be in a perfect home
As the day goes on her thoughts seem to roam
Roaming with negative and positives ways her life could turn out
The tiny voice in her head says don't lower your standards
Just open the planner
It won't hurt to try something new
Everyone around you believes in you too
Today was the day
To finally step up on that stage and be who she always has wanted to be
One step,two steps,three steps, four steps, and she is finally standing in the spotlight
Sing the first note she tells herself
Her mouth doesn't move
Panic arises from every inch of her body
If you don't do this you will become a nobody
The music begins and the lights dim
Do it she screams, just sing already
Keep you feet steady
It begins, and it's better than she ever imagined
Fear of becoming who she wanted to be
Now she is thriving and becoming as successful as she wants to be
