I'm Just Me

Early 80s

Mama always told me Im kind of crazy just because I want to sing

Would someone please teach me how to convince her its my one and only dream

Mama, you don’t have to worry and yes I know you are afraid

I just wish that you would look up to me and see the progress I have made

 

Daddy always told me,  “Rhea its okay. Just keep reaching for the stars”.

You never know, one day success might take you up and over Mars

Daddy’s been good to me, always been there for me flashing thru colors black and white

And when the crowd is falling down on me, Daddy is always there to take a fight

 

Folks Im really sorry if I dint turn out the way you wanted me to be

But through the years I’ve tried to tell you, I cant help it, Im just me

Just keep pulling for me Mama, and let me bring you to the top of the world

And when the future is falling down around me Daddy, I’ll always be your little girl

    Reading back on your older works of art really lets you know where your head was back at that time. My puberty years must have been real hell on my poor parents. They divorced when I was really young so I spent time back and forth between my Dad, my Mom, and my Grandparents. I very rarely saw my Dad. As I kid I think I glorified him. My Dad wasn't a bad man, he was a decent person. He wasn't a very strong part of my life though. Never once did he tell me to follow my dreams. We just didn't talk that much. If anything, it was actually my Mother who was more supportive of my music. My guess is that I wrote this after my Mom upset me and I was having a tantrum. The fact that I apologize for "not turning out the way they wanted me to be" just lets me know I was in a fit of hormonal girl rage! LOL What does a 14 year old know about how she is going to "turn out"?
