You can’t you can’t catch me now I’m higher than the hopes that you brought down

-you can’t catch me now

hunger games ballad of the songbirds and snakes _

_~by Olivia Rodrigo Hi..I’m iris Lovelace..people know me as the quiet girl who does what she is told to and will settle for anything comfortable,but that’s not who I am,.but thats who I’ve been for the past few years..so ever time I try to change everyone gets all worked up or just tease me!no one takes me seriously! And in high school it got worse…, Constant bullying Teaseing Ignored One day in 10th grade the professor told us to write an essay about who we want to be when we grow up..everone laughed and laughed till they jumped out of there seets the popular girl Serena said finally “like what are we fifth graders! To write an essay about that nonsense I rather redo met super expensive nails”but we ended up doing it because the teacher made a raffle..”whoever’s name gets picked will get a free week..withought homework but there’s a catch..you have to read the essay to the class” and this hyped everone up. “Iris Lovelace” Was the first thing I heard on a Monday morning in our English seminar… Wha-what..? I said while everyone lauged.. “Your picked.” Said chad..Serena’s boyfriend with a smirk.. Oh no. I went up and started reading…

I want to be a singer

………………………………………………………………………………

Was the title..

As I finished everyone statutes laughing…AGAIN

I swear these people need a cure for laughing or I’ll go mad…

You can’t be a singer

Or a star

Your a girl how are you going to earn anyone’s respect

Dumb b**tch

Like your not even pretty

Sheesh drama Queen is crying now..

Those where the comments I got then later that day this idiot threw a Lego “rockstar guitar” set and said

This is what your ment to do not literally be singer like your so stupid try making Lego before you even think about singing because you sound like a goat

A few years later a graduated collage

Got to my apartment

And cried…

Remembering this…ever since that I was scared to follow my dreams but..what do I do now…

Then I saw the Lego set.. then remembered that jerks words “this is what your ment to do..not literally be a singer like your so stupid try making Lego before you even think about singing because you sound like a goat”

Then I jumped out of my couch and grabbed The Lego set and after some intense staring I got the confidence

“This is what your ment to do”

~5 years later~

I was still sitting on my old couch wrapped in a blanket crying…………………….of joy!

I made it I finally did! The only problem was I was extremely ill on the day of the……….

GRAMMIES and I was a nominee…take that chad! And Serena!

The final category was about to be Announced..I was looking at the tv with saucer eyes was they said

“The best new artist award goes to…..”

Iris lovelace!

I dropped my ice cream…YES YES YES! Finally…

After all this time-not long after my phone buzzed…it was Serena..oof her YouTube account was cancelled…! TALK ABOUT KARMA! Wait so how am I going to get my award…oh well I’ll figure that out…eventually..?!

But moral of the story is to never give up no matter what anyone says and even try to prove the haters wrong be agreeing to them..I’m not talking about self hate I’m talking about improving what you got..besides it would look better as a comeback..so follow your dreams like baby turtles following the moonlight to find they’re home
