"My Debut" Inspired by The Masked Baron:

My Debut

I’m going somewhere new,

somewhere by myself,

and I feel as if I’m preparing

for my debut at a ball.

I’m mentally preparing to sit at the side,

unfamiliar and ignored,

but I can’t help hoping

that maybe I can be the belle

and have the happiest time of my life.

I don’t need to meet Prince Charming

for my very first dance,

but I’m excited at the possibility

of meeting him there.

I can’t stay here

waiting for something to change,

so I’m taking the reins

to move my life in another direction.

I’ll dance and turn strangers into friends,

staying as long as I continue to enjoy the party.

but if the music starts to sound the same

and the lights start to fade,

my party will end,

and the decision to stay or start over

will visit me again.
