Musical Competition

This Is My Alamo

                                                                              Author POV

I was called up to sing my song for the competition. I chose Alamo by Alec Benjamin, because I love his voice, I can relate to his music and people barely know the music he sings.

I walk up on stage while music starts playing

"Please give me a reason to believe all the lies, 'cause my teachers and the media are ghouls in disguise, abusing their authority to prosthelytize but nothing they report to me could change my mind. I need a vacation from the way things have been because I'm growing impatient, yeah, it's boiling my skin. Had enough manipulation, can you just let me live? Mm, mm.. Live my life? I'm not gonna give in. If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life, rather die, than lay down on my back got no white flag to throw. This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo."

Already, I get cheers from the audience in front of me. I smile happily, still singing.

"Please give me a reason to give up on myself. You can tell me that it's treasonous to stand and rebel. I won't pledge you my allegiance, I'll just bid you farewell. Mmm, and goodbye. I'm not gonna give in. If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life, rather die, than lay down on my back got no white flag to throw. This is my Alamo, this, this is my Alamo."

Here comes the bridge... I lower my voice to fit the mood.. My mood towards the lyrics.

"I know that on the surface It might seem like I'm just fine, but I can't eat, I barely sleep, sometimes, I wanna run and hide. Feel like I'm dying in this cage. My soul is trapped, I feel confined, and I just wish they'd let me out so I could finally live my life. I know that on the surface It might seem like I'm just fine, but I can't eat, I barely sleep, sometimes, I wanna run and hide.

I finish the bridge, going back to my cheery voice.

"I'm not gonna give in. If I have to fight, then I'm willing to give my life, rather die, than lay down on my back got no white flag to throw. I'm not gonna give in.

I bow, giving a smile and thank you's to everyone.
