Reality TV

Inspired by a day dream about reality TV when I felt the hairs on the back of my head stand on end when I listened to a beautiful voice.

The X-Factor

What’s your name and how old are you
My name is Dan, I’m 32
Why have you come here today
I write songs for others to sing
Today I’m going to sing my song, my way
Take your time, whenever your ready
Deep breath, heart goes ba-boom ba-boom
Music plays…
Epic chorus…
Good vibes start to fill the room
Harmonies unite the now-standing crowd
Family watches on with tears
Mum feeling very proud
As she turns to Dermott and says
I haven’t heard my son sing this song for years
The judges are now on their feet with hands in praise
Tears of joy and happiness run down my face
Time to vote now
I feel the air in my lungs getting thin
Yes… followed by…
Outstanding yes!
Amazing yes!
I smile
Absolutely 100% yes!
A cheeky little grin
The crowd roar as I step back and bow
You have the X-Factor Dan, a lyrical prowess.
