This is who I am


Ok I need to stay calm and keep calm.......Steady Breathing is important, Breathe in breathe out. There is nothing to be worried about there is nothing to be worried about. Rehearsals went perfect and you sounded amazing as usual.

I need to get pumped the crowd will be expecting a good.......No they will be expecting a awesome show. They want their minds to be blown and thats what Im going to do.............. But what if something goes wrong though. What if the equipment fails and Im left on the stage looking like a foal. What if I forget the beats and mess up my OWN song. It would be the end of my career...............

Wait what's that?

On in five minutes.

I'm not sure I can do this. What if they all hate me. What if I get Booed off the stage. I don't think I could handle that kind of thing. I know I'm good but anything could happen right? There are so many things that could go wrong with the blink of an eye. I only have Five minutes until it all happens.................

I think I'm gonna be sick. I feel so nervous. It all seems so intimidating,Why did I start doing this I can't remember........OH BUCK I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I WAS GOING TO START WITH!!!! Which songs am I supposed to play? this is going to be a disaster. What was that thing I was supposed to do again....Oh yeah breathing. Breathing is still important

Two more minutes..................

Do I still have time to run out the back door. Do I even deserve to be on the stage?

NO! Why am I even considering that,I am amazing and I know it. No pony in equestria can match my skill and that's because I am awesome.

I remember why I do this. It is who I am.

What others see as music. I see the essence of who I am as a pony, I see my emotions that I pour into my music, My happiness ,My saddness. I see the memories that made me who I am today. All of my regrets are in my music,But my happiest moments are there too. I love to do this because This is who I am.

Of course the fact that I have thousands of screaming fans doesn't hurt either. Yeah I know I can do this Because I control my own destiny.

That guy is back,I'm Guessing it is time for the show to start

I feel my heart start to race again as I approach my destination. But this time it is a different kind of fluttering in my chest. I don't feel fear anymore I feel confidence and my heart races from the adrenaline.

These are the moments I live for

I hear announcing but it's slightly muffled. I am at my destination standing and waiting. That guy keeps talking for a bit But the crowd can be heard getting antsy. Everypony knows what they want and that's me. I am the reason that they are all here. It never fails to astound me that I could be admired like this and now I am here just waiting to give them what they want.

I can hear the crowd scream their heads off when he mentions my name. Well My stage name to be exact.......Dj-PON3 I love it I can't believe I was able to think of that awesome name.

I almost lose my balance as the platform rises. I have never been able to get used to that. It is a slow rise up,and from what I see the fog machines worked perfectly. I am still invisible to the crowd because of the smoke. I step up to my equipment to make sure everything is perfect.

This is the moment to begin.

I start with a slow beat as the lights dim and the green neon lasers shine through the smoke.
The crowd goes wild with cheering for a couple of seconds as the beats continue. Now it's time to have some fun, I add in some corresponding rhythmic noises that sound like a electronic voice and sequence in some music to go along with it. But it all leads to my favorite part. The music starts to pick up tempo as the sounds get more and more frequent . Then with one swift movement I stop the music and use my horn to blow away the smoke revealing me to the crowd.

Everything is silent as the crowd stares. I lift my head and slightly smile. My favorite part,I makes sure to time everything perfectly and then...........

I drop the base.

An explosion of sound blasts into the crowd as they go crazy. The cheering is barely heard as it is drowned out by my masterpiece.

This is what I live for,the moments like this. Nothing can compare the rush of the stage and the sound of the cheers. The way the vibrations feel as the music plays. Everything seems so surreal to me right now. The music continues to play as I give the crowd everything I got,everything is perfect.

It is true what they day sadly. Time flies when you're having fun. After I finished the first song the others seemed to pass like a blur. Sometimes it seems like nothing happened at all like one second I'm just starting and then everything becomes a blur and before I know it I am performing the final song.

I look up at the crowd as the beat ends. They scream and applaud in praise. I lift my hooves and bow as i tell them I had a great time tonight and that they were an amazing crowd. I really mean it too I love to perform it's like a euphoria to me. I step onto my platform as smoke comes out of the fog machines. I disappear beneath the stage and walk back to my dressing room. It is a slow and meaningful walk. I reach my destination and look up at the name on the door.

VINYL SCRATCH

I sit down and stare at it. Once more I am astounded at how I have gotten this far. It wasn't easy But it was all worth it. All of my hard work has payed off. I yawn as I get up and head inside the room.

I guess its time to pack up and head to the tour bus. I did good they were thrilled with the show because I was amazing.I better get going though. The next gig is a long drive from here so I will need time to get ready.

I walk out the door and take one last look before leaving. I smile as I close the door.

This is who I am.
