Jay: "Yeahhh! Are you ready?!"
Guitar in hand, I turn towards my audience who answers my call by yelling loudly.
Jay: "I think you know this one pretty well... Let's see!"
I played the first chords of my latest single and set off a new wave of euphoria when everyone recognized my song.
I can't help but smile while appreciating each minute, each instant, each second of what I'm lucky to live on stage, here and now.
My dancers position themselves at my side and I start to sing.
Jay:
You were told to fit in, get in just like them,
To copy and then shine to be one of them.
They might call you crazy but why not try something different?
Be happy, sad, inspired but just be.
Take a chance, look around and listen to your heart.
Don't be scared you will make a difference.
We all play into the image game,
But we're so much more than what the rulebook says.
Difference is what makes us beautiful.
I love this song... that is about acceptance and our differences, such a hopeful message.
I hope that it will touch those that listen to it.
I continue to sing, and don't think of anything else.
I end my last verse with a line that speaks of love...
Jay:
There is so much to live for, this is how love will come to us.
Although I was the one that wrote those words, I have a hard time imagining a place for love in my life.
Because who could love who I really am?
