Spotlight

I was a face in the crowd, unknown to the world,
Alone and abandoned, like a flag unfurled,
Sleeping on the streets, in the bitter cold,
But destiny had a plan, a story to unfold.

Under the spotlight, I'll shine so bright,
From the shadows to the stage, my voice takes flight,
A journey of redemption, a chance to be free,
In this newfound world, I'll let my spirit be.

On a snowy night, I found my voice,
In an open mic, I made my choice,
Trembling and scared, I began to sing,
A melody of hope, a song that would bring.

Under the spotlight, I'll shine so bright,
From the shadows to the stage, my voice takes flight,
A journey of redemption, a chance to be free,
In this newfound world, I'll let my spirit be.

Once tormented and alone, I carried the weight,
But now I stand tall, no longer filled with hate,
I imagine a world where I'm embraced,
Where my voice is heard, where I'm not misplaced.

Under the spotlight, I'll shine so bright,
From the shadows to the stage, my voice takes flight,
A journey of redemption, a chance to be free,
In this newfound world, I'll let my spirit be.

As I step onto the grand stage, my heart pounds,
Fear and shame try to hold me down,
But I close my eyes, and I let it all go,
In this moment, my true self starts to glow.

And as the applause fills the air,
Tears stream down my face, a release of despair,
For I've found my place, my voice has been heard,
In this spotlight, I'm no longer blurred.
