   just so we’re clear…..

   I am not your next pop star.
   Never wanted to be.
   Never want to be.
   I am not an entertainer .
   I am an inspirer.
   I don’t sing songs to entertain and distract.
   I write songs to inspire,
   to heal,
   to bring awareness to…..
   myself ……
   and if I’m lucky,
   to others.

   I don’t want to be a tv or movie star.
   The closest thing in acting I’ve ever wanted to do is stage plays of the non musical sort

   I am not your next “triple threat”

   I am not your next Beyonce,
   I am not your next Aaliyah…..
   I am not Cassie’s competition
   nor am i Rihannah’s.

   I don’t want to make the world dance,
   I want to help the world think,
   heal,
   be freed
   and be true to it’s essence.

   I am not your next radio friendly…..

   I don’t know what your idea of making it is,
   but today I surprised my daughter with her very own room.
   I successfully put a roof over me and my soon to be 3 year olds head……
   I made that happen.

   I made it .

   
   I do not want to be your next pop star

   I am not your next pop star

   I have a pudgy little nose that I never plan on “fixing” ,
   a cup full of butt
   tiny tits from breast feeding a child for the full year that nature suggested
   ( in which, btw…
   I never plan on filling back up with any other material other than breast milk)

   I am not your next perfectly plump,
   slim nosed,
   5 foot 7 
   cover girl.

   I am 5 foot 2

   And I am not your next popstar.

   I am not dedicated to being #1,
   the highest paid,
   or the most sexually sought after….

   I am dedicated to providing for my daughter,
   my family
   friends
   and the world to the best of my ability.

   I am dedicated to being happy,
   being comfortable,
   and being myself.

   I don’t need to be rich…..
   Never have been,
   never wanted to be
   and probably never will be
   because a person who is truly rich in spirit,
   sees no purpose in the excess of anything….

   I’d rather give a million people one dollar
   than to boast that I myself,
   am a millionaire.

   I will sing about who I am ,
   what I do,
   and what I think.

   Sometimes it will be similar to your favorite popstar…..
   sometimes it will be similar to your favorite politician,
   sometimes it will be similar to a respected philosopher
   or an unknown astronomer…..

   But do not call me these things.

   I am just a me ,
   as you are
   just a you.

   PSA to anyone expecting me to be the next of any thing…..

   I am the very first ,
   and the very last
   me.

   
   I am NOT
   your next pop star.
