I was nervously waiting in line behind a bunch of people waiting to audition for Hollywood arts. I was mostly nervous because most people don't like the kind of music I sing. The line went by pretty fast in my opinion and soon it was my turn. I sat on the stool and cleared my throat. "Name?" The principal asked me. "Reese Lopez." I said hoping that was the name on the list. "And what are you doing for us today?" He asked me. "I'm singing an original song." I replied. He made a go ahead motion with his hand.

It's been a while since I've seen you
With your one red light and Baptist steeple
The people here are hard to face
The memories harder to erase
Of all the things that make up what was home
It's funny how they make me feel alone
But I can't change it and that's okay
'Cause I've learned to let it go
It's out of my control
It might sound crazy but
I should say thank you
'Cause now I finally know who I really am
And I'm made from my hometown
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hmmmm
It's hard to talk to my old man
Who doesn't seem to understand
And my Mamma don't know him anymore
All those late night talks turn to fighting wars
Yeah, with all the things that make up what was home
It's funny how they make me feel alone but I can't change it and that's okay
'Cause I've learned to let it go
It's out of my control
It might sound crazy but
I should say thank you
'Cause now I finally know who I really am
And I'm made from my hometown
Of all the plans and all the dreams
And all the things you thought that I should be
No, but from the twists, the turns, the pain, the hurt
The things I've learned have led me to believe
That, I can't change it and that's okay
'Cause I've learned to let it go
It might sound crazy but
I should say thank you
'Cause now I finally know who I really am, yeah
Now, I can't change it and that's okay
'Cause I've learned to let it go
It's out of my control
It might sound crazy but
I should say thank you
'Cause now I finally know who I really am
And I'm made from my hometown
Yes, I'm made from my hometown
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooooohhhhh
Mmmmhhhh
Mmmmhhhh
(I changed one line to fit the story)
As I finished I opened my eyes to clapping. "Congrats you got in. You start Monday." A weird guy said jumping over the table and trying to shake my hand, but since I hate being touched I kept dodging his hand. I walked off stage and exited the building walking towards my car. I put my guitar in the back seat and climbed in the car. I pulled my shirt over my face and screamed into it. I can't believe it, I got in. I started the car and drove home. As I entered the apartment I brought a sad look onto my face and walked to the kitchen where everyone was gathered. My mom seeing my face gasped and ran to hug me. "It's alright sweetheart." She said to me. I brought on a teary voice and said "I made it momma. I got in." She looked at me and gently slapped my arm. "You had me worried bud." She said laughing. We all started laughing till I heard a cry coming from the nursery. I ran to the room and picked up my baby. He might not have been conceived under ideal circumstances but I love him. I just hope that dude doesn't find us. The cops wouldn't do anything cause it was my word against his since there weren't any witnesses around.
