As long as I can remember all I have ever wanted to do is sing. I have always had people tell me that I'm not good enough until I started to believe them. I wonder what people hear when they listen to me. Do they hear a good voice or do they hear someone that needs some work. When I listen to myself I think in the back of my mind you need some work honey its not that tight. But then when I hear other songs that I sing it sounds almost like the artist. One thing my mama always told me though is if you want to make a name for yourself don't try to sound like someone else. The problem is I don't know what I sound like. Some people just have it they have that distinct sound that sets them apart from anyone else like Beyonce, Shakira, Rhianna, Amy Winehouse and Tina Turner or even Michael Jackson. These artist set the standards for greatness and I have even asked myself why cant i be great. I want to be one of the people born to greatness. I realize that these artist worked for what they wanted but honestly if they didn't have the raw talent it would make a dam bit of difference how hard they worked for it or how bad they wanted it it just wouldn't have happened for them. I'm not saying that I have worked at it all my life I didn't exactly have supportive parents that were like yea reach for the stars and make your dreams come true. My parents were more like get your education you can never make it as a singer stick to your books and as this was drilled into my head over the years I got my education and made not one mark of my presence in this world. I once asked myself what makes people great. I never got an answer to that question and I really want to know what makes someone great. Is it the amount of money they have because God knows that money makes the world go round. Is it the way someone dresses. I have seen some of these so called "trendsetters" and I'm not impressed because anyone can take an outfit that doesn't match and is all colorful and as long as they rock it with confidence it will be the next style in fashion. I know that no one reads these things so I can vent if I want to. What will it take to make my mark on the world. I want people to remember me. I have always been the good girl the nice friend that when you first see her she looks so mean and she is stuck up but when you get to know her she is funny and cool as hell. (shouldn't judge a book by its cover I am a prime example of that) I just want to know if I can make my presence know and if I can stop being invisible to people. I want to be great.
