In The Shower
In the shower,
I am more than just a girl.
I am a super hero,
Ready to take on the world.
I am not afraid to use my voice,
Hear me sing and hear me cry,
My words will never fade, nor will they die.
In the shower,
It seems that my fantasies,
Are more than just my fantasies.
I am no longer Kelsey Brafford,
Sitting in the back of the Chemistry class,
Squinting because I can't see the notes.
I am the Kelsey Brafford,
The girl that will get up when you ask her,
"Mrs. Brafford what does the board say?"
Politely but sarcastically I will reply,
"Now Mr. Wellman,
I told you I can't see from the back,
At the beginning of the year.
Maybe you've forgotten or you just can't hear,
Either move me to the front,
Or don't ask me at all,
It's quite embarrassing."
And for a minute, he stalls.
In the shower,
I am protector of all people who have dreams.
Including me,
And if anybody tries to stop us,
Or knock our dreams down,
I will fight them off.
Pick your dreams up, because the bad guys are gone.
They will no longer tell you,
How unrealistic your dreams are,
Or that maybe you shouldn't shoot for the stars,
Because the stars are too far.
In the shower,
I am not afraid.
I am the toughest girl alive,
I am here to stay.
With the water steaming,
I begin to save the world,
I am unstoppable,
Rescuing little boys and little girls.
I even save adults,
Like say, my mom or my dad,
My grandma's or my grandpa's,
From the evil divorces' path.
I save animals from shelters,
But not just dogs or cats,
I save endangered species,
From a careless hunters wrath.
Pretty soon the shower goes cold,
Reality comes rushing in,
It's time to turn off the water,
I don't want this daydream to end.
In the shower,
That's where I'm brave,
The bravest of them all,
I am more than just a little girl,
Saving the world is where I belong.
I do the things I would love to do,
I dream like no dreamer could,
My daydreams,
Are more than just my daydreams,
I do the things I should.
So today I'm taking them with me.
Out of the shower is where they go,
They will be more than just my daydreams,
They will be my actions,
Not just my hopes.
Today I will be a superhero,
Maybe not the greatest of them all,
With a little practice though,
Hopefully one day,
The villains will be gone.
