Dreams
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.
