I pick up my guitar and look out the soft tinted window. I set up a microphone. I used to have a dream. To post on youtube my voice. My dream and happiness. But I never did anything with it.

I walk over to the mic and set up my amp plugging it into my quitar. Its not like I was bad at singing or anything. More as though I was scared of what people would think of me. I male tenor that sings for fun.

It would be humiliating. Yet a good thing is I have no friends or enemies at this school yet. I start playing some notes of a song I wrote a few years ago.

After my dad died, it was sad. I was sad. I didnt know what to do. I wrote this song for my dad. "Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains
Within the sound of silence"

I continued singing the depressing song with tears dripping off my eyes and onto my face. Yet my voice doesn't waver in the slightest. I smile. These arent sad tears these are happy tears. I got over my fear 9f the guitar. It was my fault my dad died.

He was coming to a cool little talent show my school was holding and I was gonna play guitar and knock his socks off. Yet on the way there, he was shot and mugged by a gang. If he didnt come to the talent show he would be alive.
