When I was a teenager
I wanted to be a rockstar,
which in retrospect was
a foolish dream for me.
I had no talent for singing
and didn’t have the patience
to learn how to play a
musical instrument.
And unknown to me back
then, I wouldn’t have liked
all the traveling, probably
would have burned out
on it after six months.
And unknown to me back
then, many rockstars have
died young, often from
drug overdoses.
Had I the talent for singing
and the patience to learn
how to play a musical
instrument, I easily could
have been one of them.
