I feel like this is the most torment and struggle I've ever been faced with. I'm 25 and this trumps all my high school learnings, my pre-teen angst, my young adult trials.
Was I simply born to be an "almost"? One of those that sits and says, I was almost there. I was almost good enough. I don't want to be that. I want to be an exception, one of the few that does it.
I have this strangely powerful voice and these beautiful lyrics all trapped up inside me. I have a presence on stage that I can't even say isn't addictive and energetic. I lead on stage. I command. I have all the inner workings to truly be an amazing front man and tour my soul out to whoever wants to listen.
I know I'm good enough. I just can't understand why I can't find a way to get out there. I'm dedicated. I try so hard and give it my all.
No one wants to back me. No one wants to stick it out til the end and make it. Why is everyone so fickle, so undriven? Why can't anyone be passionate??
I don't know how, but I've GOT to make this happen. I can't go to waste. I simply can't do it.
I don't know what to do from this tiny computer screen in Nashville, TN. How am I ever supposed to be seen and heard when I can't leave? When I can't get out there?
What am I to do?
