Not Quite A Diamond

Writing and Performing

I do not own the song Welcome to my life by simple life I am just obsessed with it. Give them all credit and go listen to it. Thumbs it up it need love it is an amazing song. To me it is but yh it is simple lifes song not mine all theirs.

I walk up to the common room wattlebird. No surprise the common room was empty, I tip toe up to my dorm and slip into my bed. I was so sleepy that the moment my head hit the pillow I was out like a light. "Guys just leave her she had a busy day yesterday" Dimond whisper shouts. "But it is so easy to prank her" Scarlet wines "touch one thing of hers or do anything to her I will shout at dinner Scarlet loves Dean" Dimond black mails. I just smile to myself. "Fine"! Scarlet says storming out with Dimond and the other girls behind her. I sit up go to the bathroom and have a long warm shower, I step out of the shower and brush my teeth. I look in the mirror, I not going any where till dinner so I will let my hair air dry. I walk out of the bathroom and walk over to my dresser. I pull out light clothes, I know dark hair does not work with light clothes but when my hair drys ut will turn into a light brown colour. I sit on my stool of my drums put my pad on my left side main drum. (Put in simple terms for those who don't play drums) I pick up my electric guitar and just strum and think of the tune first then I work on the lyrics. And last line done and memorized  whats the time wow ten mins till everyone starts heading to the feast. I get up pick my guitar up and head to the great hall, "Hi Dumbledore" I say politely. "Hi Cristal" he says walking towards me "I might warn you now it may not be that good I only had a day, but I just let my emotions flow out of me like a river of tears" I say walking into the room behind thr teachers table. "Well I am sure it's wonderful, just like the one you wrote with Seamus" he says. "Wait how did" I say turning around to find him gone and the door shut. I sit on the sofa amd go over the lyrics, "but first Professor Mcgonagall wanted someone to sing something more for her then you but feel free to dedicated the song to you" he says. I get up and walk out to see a stool microphone and everyone's eyes on me. My goal is to make the SLYTHERINS cry, I sit down and begin to play.
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong.
And no one understands you.
Do you ever wanna run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on, turned up so loud.
That no one hears you screaming.

I look round to see a few Ravenclaws with sad looks along with some Hufflepuffs.
No you don't know what it's like.
When nothing feels alright.
You don't know what it's like! To be like me.
To be hurt. To feel lost.
To be left out in the dark!
To be kicked, when your down!
And feel like you've been pushed around!
To be on the egde of braking down.
And no ones there to save you.
No you don't what it's like.
Welcome to my life

I take another glace and see most of the Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw and half the Gryffindors crying and two Slytherins.
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more.
Before your life is over.
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies.
While deep inside your bleeding.

I take another round of the hall all the Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws. Gryffindors and half the Slytherins where crying now to make everyone cry.
No you don't know what it's like.
When nothing feels alright.
You don't know what it's like! To be like me.
To be hurt. To feel lost.
To be left out in the dark!
To be kicked when your down!
And feel like you've been pushed around.
To be on the egde of breaking down.
And no ones there to save you.
No you don't what it's like.
Welcome to my life!

I play a little bit of guitar and change the tune this part is dedicated to some people.
No one ever lied straight to your face!

I sing looking at Ross.
And no one ever stabbed you in the back!

I sing this looking to Trixy who was hiding her tears which came out when she saw me looking at her.
You might think I'm happy!
But I'm not gunna be ok!

I sing those looking at Seamus and Olly who were both crying.
Everybody always gave you what you wanted!
You never had to work it was always there!

I looked a Draco for these lines but he was looking at the table knowing if he looked up he would break his bad boy reputation.
You don't know what it's like...what it's like.

I soften my voice and sing.
To be hurt. To feel lost.
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when your down.
And feel like you've been pushed around.
To be on the egde of breaking down.
And no ones there to save you.
No you don't know what it's like...what it's like.

I louden my voice and stand up.
To be hurt. To feel lost.
To be left out in the dark.
To be kicked, when your down.
And feel like you've been pushed around.
To be on the egde of breaking down.
And no ones there to save you.
No you don't know what it's like.
Welcome to my life!
Welcome to my life!
Welcome to my life

I finish and the hall erupts with applause. I look back to see all the teacher's crying apart from Dumbledore who was smiling and...Snape. I lean to the mic and say "mission accomplished I made most of the Slytherins cry" I say everyone started laughing even Snape. I walk down to get mostof Gryffindor running at me. Uff I was practically crushed, we walk back down to sit at the table I sit next to Oliver who would not let me sit next to anyone now. I had to sit between him and Fred. "Ok ok I know that was emotional but lets hope food can help your emotional recovery" Dumbledore says making food appear.
