City Lights

The city's lights shined bright in her young eyes
Through her starstruck mind swam her dreams of fame
She had yet to be fed life's big lies
She was set to play life's big game

Walking through the dirty city streets
Four months since her arrival
She had come to realize that life cheats
She spent her time thinking of survival

The stage did not accept her
Though it was always her dream
She had always been so sure
Standing on a stage she'd gleam

Her dreams were gone for now
But she would make it somehow
