Poem of the Day: Struttin' Star

Struttin' Star

Just sittin here waitin for inspiration
Bein started at and hoped for by the whole US nation
With pressure and pressure pile'n up on my back
I can't leave or go away there's no turnin back
Can't mess up or break up don't make no mistake
Feel like my bones are all gone and my back's gonna break
I take a drink of cold water and my teeth they go numb
I shake my head clear my throat and to my fate I succumb
I walk out onto a stage and the lights blind my eyes
I'm amazed by the crowd the sound and the size
Suddenly a Beatles tune pops into my head
Suddenly for no reason I wish I were dead
Wish I could turn myself around and walk off this stage
Wish I could never have to read what I wrote down on this page
But then I walk up to the mic and the words flow out
I start talkin and singin and begin to shout
But I never actually said the words I wrote down
Sang the Beatles tune and heard the crowd all say wow
Sang that song "She's So Heavy" poured my soul out
Then I ended the song and the crowd gave a shout
I walk off the stage and back to my car
Now I feel proud and strut like a star
