Your POV

"Alright, Y/n. The cameras are all set. Ready when you are."

I take a deep breath before putting my mask on. I realize that once this video is posted, I will no longer be 'Mystique.' Hiding my true identity to the world... or at least everyone who watches the videos. I will no longer be hiding behind a mask. People will know the face that is hidden by the mask. My face. This is a step I'm willing to take. A huge step, in the right direction.

I take my place in front of the mic stand. I tap it to make sure it is on. I give the thumbs up and immediately the lights shut off and a spotlight is beaming down on my head. I see the red dot blinking from the cameras. Cole points to me giving my the go. I take a deep breath before the music starts and I have to sing.

Listen to the song here in my heart

A melody I start but can't complete

Listen, to the sound from deep within

It's only beginning

To find release

Oh, the time has come

For my dreams to be heard

They will not be pushed aside and turned

Into your own

All cause you won't

Listen

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads

I'm not at home, in my own home

And I've tried and tried

To say what's on my mind

You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you

You don't know what I'm feeling

I'm more than what you made of me

I followed the voice you gave to me

But now I gotta find my own

You should have listened

There is someone here inside

Someone I'd thought had died

So long ago

Oh, I'm screaming out, and my dreams will be heard

They will not be pushed aside or worse

Into your own

All cause you won't

Listen

Listen, I am alone at a crossroads

I'm not at home, in my own home

And I've tried and tried

To say what's on my mind

You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you

You don't know what I'm feeling

I'm more than what you made of me

I followed the voice you gave to me

But now I gotta find my own

I don't know where I belong

But I'll be moving on

If you don't

If you won't

Listen to the song here in my heart

A melody I start
