Permission To Be Me

Permission to Be Me
Written by Brett Somers 
On 3-18-16

May I,
Please
But I
Nevermind
Geeze
Forget it
I’m always 
The last person
To give permission
To me

It’s THAT I want
Dreams big
Glorious things
Superstar rings
Can I 
May I
Please please pretty please
Will I give me
Permission
To be me?

Laura Breidenthal August 16, 2018 at 12:09 AM "I’m always The last person To give permission To me" Actually a really deep statement from my understanding. Very interesting indeed that so many of us in life can do - getting in the way of ourselves, our own glory, our own destiny. Neat one! Always, Laura Umnewa Brett Somers Formerly Winkofheart August 17, 2018 at 3:55 PM It's is only now this month that I've set my first live music concert date as an "In the Moment" pianist at the Triad theater this October 16 in Manhattan. I'm finally giving myself permission to be me. It's been a challenging run for me, to allow this belief to truly settle.
