When i found my dream in music

in #art7 years ago

I was just a nine year old girl when i suddenly found my dream and life in music. I created a band with my friends(which collapsed😂😂). I used to sing infront of the class during breaktimes only to be bullied and to be told what i never wanted to hear "you can't sing". I would get so hurt. Get so torn because during that period i had started trying to write my own songs and i had successfully written more than three! One day i sat behind the tv watching The Oprah Winfrey Show with Celine Dion as the guest. That was where i got my inspiration. But the funny thing was that i misheard something which led me to my song writing journey😂😂. They talked about a million copies of Celine's album sold but i thought it meant she had written a million songs, so i told myself, "i will get there. Little by little i will also reach a million songs". And so every night, every day, i devoted my time into writing songs. But i didnt realize it was a gift. Songs came naturally to me. I didnt spend a lot of hours trying to write one line or get a beautiful melody. It just came naturally, while my other friends in the band struggled with song writing. Everyday gave me a new hope. I kept on singing all the time and my voice became better. I joined the choir which also helped a lot with the training of my voice. Within five years i had written more than hundred songs and i was so proud of myself but something happened.....We were about to write our final exams and so we had a stay-in class after school where we all helped each other with topics we didnt understand and all that. It was one particular day i was holding my song book. Still feeling proud of myself for being able to write over one hundred songs when a friend walked to me. "What book is this?" she asked. "My song book" I answered with so much pride. She took the book, she flipped through the pages. She held the book high and showed to the whole class and said"While i was learning, preparing for my final exams, look at what she was doing". The whole class roared with laughter. I felt my heart pierced with knife. My hands began to shake. I felt my body trembling. My whole world shattered. I put my whole heart in my songs. And when i put my whole heart in something and you mock at it, it feels like i've been shot. Since that day........
