Defying Gravity

Dreams die hard, and once they're gone, they seem so bitter. Who knows why people dream.... Most of the time, they don't come true anyways... Heh, but I dreampt the things I dreampt, because I thought that maybe I could be in the small percentile that got what they wished for. I can be stupid sometimes..... but I guess that dreams are worth dreaming even if they don't come true.

Besides, look at my screen name right now. Defying Gravity! It's time that I start doing that. I need to live up to who I can be, and I don't need anyone anymore. I've been given a chance at something, and I've been gifted with a startling new courage. It's amazing.

In those few brief moments, when I sang that song in front of those people, I had a sudden vision of clarity. Everyone deserves a chance to fly. Even if they aren't the best at what they do. When I got up there, I wasn't shaking because I felt nervous, I was shaking because I felt empowered! I'm through accepting limits! It's true!

I'm through accepting limits, because someone says they're so.

Some things I cannot change, but 'til I try I'll never know.

And it's true! I'm really really done with everything! I feel like I can do anything! I feel like I really can defy gravity. I'm not like other people. When I do things, when I sing songs, when I play them on the flute.... I don't just play or sing them. I feel them, and I belive in them. They become reality to me, and so, I've decided that I don't want to be chained down anymore.

I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game. It's over, it's finished, and I'm not looking back. I am defying gravity, and I will continue to do so. And nobody, no one at all, even those that I may love and care about... none of you, are ever gonna bring me down.

I'm putting away the Phantom of the Opera, and I refuse to ever sing it again in front of anyone.

It's over now, the music of the night.

Response from Josh:
:) now you know why I am the way I am, why I hate rules. welcome to the other side. The reason I'm not big on the phantom of the opera is because the people follow social rules in the story (Yeah, they were expected to back then) but are you sure you can resist rules? It isn't easy, I can barely do it. If your boyfriend said he didn't want to be with you, would you still love him, even if you weren't expected to? Would you be with your friends if they were outcasted but you were popular? If god was unpopuar? Think hard... it may have to be ansered sooner or later.

(Woah, talk about a major blog edit... now my previous comment is waaaay obsolete.)
Anyways... yay, I'm so happy for you! ^_^
