For the First Time

I now just do not think I'll make it into any Shelley shows.

(insert picture from This is a Test)

I just had a moment of self-realization,
which seems to be the worst possible thing to happen.

I can not sing.


Sure, I can sing hymns from the books and whatever songs
the choir teacher assigns us.



But I can't sing. Not really good anyway. 


This sort of thing happens when you're the one with
friends who can sing like a beast.

But honestly, now that I think of it,
my chances in the Shelley Shows
aren't very good.


I'm a moderate actress,
but a mild singer.
There's no way. None at all, it seems.
if I can't sing.


Shelley Shows are a tricky fate that is difficult to tamper with.
Until the fate can be ensured,
for the first time,
I don't know if I can do Shelley Shows.
Self doubt is terrible.
Don't be like me.
