I have been so close and yet so far....
afraid to be a star
maybe so
I dunno
think so
I know
prefer behind the scenes
know what that means
wanna be a part of it all
but not knowin' y'all
and you thinkin' you know me
kinda scares me
am I crazy
maybe
been runnin' in creative circles for so long
have yet to be a part of a hit song
back in my fell into a band days
drives me crazy in many ways
we did all original stuff
so it was tough
to find a cover
for all to discover
I dared to uncover
yet I picked a song I knew well
by Tommy James and the Shondells
I Think We're Alone Now
band never learned it...anyhow
my instincts were right on...wow
Tifanny was a one hit wonder
could have been me dare not ponder
right instincts...timing off
try not to scoff
is that the right word
anyhow absurd
Author's Notes/Comments:
When I fell into the band with rock music and no words and I had the words and thought I was just gonna sit in and listen to what they did with them, little did I know I would become the lead singer, etc...anyways..it was fun while it lasted but sometimes it really hurts when you think of lost opportunities and if they will ever fall into your lap again like that whole situation...I dunno...you gotta make the most of whatever comes your way cuz it all can be gone some day...our band was together six months...we played out twice...I have lots of gargage band type tapes cuz I took a tape recorder to rehearsals...nothing fancy, but thank God I have the songs intact if only I could perfect them someday and send them on their way to the masses...cuz some pretty catchy stuff and just wanna share...been a very long day...been up since 2 am and it is now almost 10:30PM...too much on my mind, can't sleep...geez...I hope this makes sense tomorrow...Pam
lost opportunities can be painful but think about what I did. I waited over 20 years to go back to school for nursing a dream since very young. I bucked static from a lot of people including some family members and because I wanted it I went for it hit or miss .I say try again with your songs!
Good poem.
