Writer Vs Singer

Sometimes I have this innate jealousy of singers Doesn't every girl wish she could blow like Whitney Or harmonize like mariah? It makes my dreams of being chief editor of a magazine Seem miniscule when your talking about winning a Grammy Sometimes I feel a little small next to my friend Who steals the spotlight with her voice I steal people's minds with my poems I gain acceptance with my thoughts When I think of singing I think of instant gratification Yet in the world of poetry you have to prove yourself and little kids see my talent as boring Who do they convince you to be when your young? Sure enough not no writer Excuse my grammar on this part But the say either be a pop star or a basketball player There is simply no brain washing that will make a kid want to pay attention in English unless they truly care That's when I realized developing a talent like mines Takes passion and heart from the start I'd much rather be on the interviewing side Making artist cringe with the unique form Of words I use... So if you'd ask me this time who i'd choose to be If god made me over and I could receive any talent I'd always choose writing Cause it's one of those things similar to air I'd die without the chance to express what I feel on paper
