Not Really What I Had In Mind

Ugh, the title of my blog is getting on my nerves. What it means now is definitely NOT what I intended it to mean when I first started this blog. I did not mean home like as in my parents house. I meant like the area maybe? Somewhere close by or somewhere that reminded me of home, but of course God won. Again.



P.S. this post is referring to the former title which was "Chasing Your Dreams May Lead You Home" = gag me, I know!

I Miss Singing

i miss singing


with the windows down

not caring about the car next to me at the red light


belting at the top if my lungs as i move from room to room

not wondering what the neighbors must be thinking


i knew i was good

how all my practice had paid off

that singing on the treadmill actually sounded good


i miss singing


keeping it as my secret

not letting my friends know how good i was


planning to one day take the stage

shocking them all


never an intention to make singing my profession

despite the countless offers

but only for fun with my friends


people beg me to go on tour

but no, not me

i'm just in it for the fun

not the spotlight


the music industry's best kept secret


i miss singing


the extra boost

better than the blackest coffee


the way my mind drifts into stories

without limits


the connection it builds with another

when you start tapping to the same rhythm


how it calms the night

justifies the tears

explains the pain

stretches the smile


i miss singing


but not anymore


my windows are down

there is a long drive ahead


i will have my voice back in no time

do not worry


just keep your eye on the stage
