I sat on the steps of an apartment building, unable to go back to the orphanage after the act I pulled. That's another story ... for a better time.

I strummed a few chords on my guitar as I did so. It was the only thing I had left of my parents. Now I needed to find them and ... everything is hopeless. So now I just do whatever I do when I'm depressed. I sing.


Sitting on the curb next to my neighbor

Hoping one day you might change your mind!

So let me please ask for this one small favor

Treat me with a heart that's kind!


Cause I'm, so sorry

That, I can not be

Who you wanted me to be

I've tried so hard!

Now it's all gone

I'm just so sorry!

I'm sorry


I sighed.  really am sorry Mom and Dad. I've failed to find you.

"Did you write that song?" asks a lady

"Y-yeah. You liked it?" I ask

"Liked it? It's a masterpiece! A true work of art! You got talent!" I blush

"Heh, thanks,"

"You know what? You know what, you know what?"

"What?"

"I'm the headmistress of Dream Academy, ever heard of it?"

"Heard of it, yeah! I actually auditioned today!"

"You have! Well congratulations I can't wait to -"

"I failed," I interrupt

"You failed? Impossible? I won't stand for it! You know what you can re-audition!"

"I can?"

"Yes! Right here, right now! Play that song for me again,"

"Okay," I start from the beginning and play 'Sorry' for the lady again. And I don't mess-up! The lady cheers for me.

"That's beautiful! Consider yourself a member of Dream Academy!"
