I went to a bar taking with me, my guitar.
Nerves and fright were carried with me.

I took a few shots and prayed to god,
that he didn't let my voice fail me.
I questioned my will, felt unskilled
but then the drinks crept up to save me.

I again assessed the situation.
The bar owner extended an open invitation.
I couldn't speak, my knees were weak,
but all those shots had me feeling a sort of bravery.

The moment I stepped on stage,
I added to the chapter, another page.

For what I'd sing, I couldn't remember.
The stage lights seemed to cast a halo of fire.

Though the words seemed to evade me.
Another prayer that the floor didn't forsake me.

I shoved deep down, my worries of doubt
Closed my eyes, willing the sounds
of the world to slowly die out.

My fingers started strumming the strings.
Acoustic sounds, a sense of comforting.
I begin and started to sing.

My tattoos are very random. I get them when I travel, at rinky dink places... some were... not so good, but I leave them
because it's a great conversation starter,
right?

The one closest to my wrist is a feather mixed with Moonlight Sonata lines,
Retro dynamic vocal phone, acoustic guitar, piano keys,
dead tree with owl(Poe🤍),
and a crescent moon. 

Rest are two pistols adorned with wings, mermaid, Stevie Nicks Landslide lyrics.. blah blah blah yo girl has a lot...
One sleeve.
So, this is for you that asked.

Stage fright is a bitch.
But, Oasis..
