dear singing on stage

dear singing on stage,

you thought this day would never come. i thought this day would never come. both you and i did our best to convince me my strengths lay in academia. in NGO work. in non-singing acting. oh, but you couldn't let me go...nor i you. sometimes the road is winding, as in our case my dear singing. but now, there you are. staring me down in the public policy grad school sketch show. challenging me--and my pride--in new ways. its a hard knock life, which is what i will be singing. on stage. in front of 200+ classmates.
how do you like me now.
