I made my way out of the dressing room in time to wave to my boys who all were giving me goofy smiles and thumbs up. They were going to be in the audience in a section where the other performers can watch while they wait for their turn. I didn't even know who the main act was, Cherry informed me that I didn't need to know who they were until after I performed in case I stan them, which is honestly fair. I followed Cherry under the stage, a crew member set up my earpieces and mic. I decided against using a handheld mic since I didn't want to risk my hands shaking during the performance. I step onto the stage lift. I nod to Cherry and immediately slip into a stage persona. I vaguely see Cherry give me a thumbs up before I hear the mc introducing me. What did he say? No clue. I hear my track start-up and am lifted onto the stage.

I immediately hear the fans screams as I start singing

I got pushed, I got washed ashore

In front of the door of my long-awaited dream

There's a little song inside me

And that little song has brought me here

I move back to the center stage and realize my dream is not just a dream anymore.

Even though it's lonely, there's no place to lean on

Even though it's painful, there's no place to stop

The purpose of waiting and enduring

Only after I finally met you

Only after you held my hands do I realize it

I start the pre-chorus with newfound confidence. I look straight into the camera and I move to the left, before looking into the audience. Watching the lightsticks move with me.

Yeah I'm scared, even though I'm afraid

Let's do our best, let's just try

It's our chance

The countless number of footsteps

That was made in the past know

My past, everything my parents put me through, everything my own mind brought upon me led me to this moment. Led me to be on a stage, no my stage. This is my stage, my beginning.

Be my friend and walk with me

Let's just run for our lives

Give me your hand and promise

Let's just run for our lives

The doors of the future are opened

And I see the days that were promised
