I secretly love to sing. I’m a natural performer, but I’ve always only performed with instruments. I play piano, clarinet, and a little of alto sax and percussion. I’ve kept it a secret because my family is so damn overbearing with it. They’ve always tried to force me to do it and I want to do it for myself, not them. I don’t want to sing hymnals and bluegrass music. I like all genres. But I’m afraid that if I open my mouth once to sing, they’ll never leave me alone and they’ll force me to do things that I don’t want to. Honestly I would just be happy if I got to sing one song in my school talent show. I really want to try, but I have so many friends that are amazing singers and I don’t know if I s*** or not because no one has ever heard me. I kind of just want to do it without telling anyone and surprise people. I just want to get up, do it, and never speak about it again. If it’s good, then someone will say so. If it’s bad, I don’t think anyone will say I s*** to my face. I don’t know. I really want to. It’s a stupid dream, but I just want to sing in front of people one time. I don’t really know what to do. I think it may be best not to do it.
