Breakout by 365 Poetry
I’ll be performing poetry and an original song. This year I’m allowing myself to step into a dream I had as a teenager—performing as a singer/songwriter. My stretch goal this year was to learn to write songs and perform at least twice this year and one of the songs I played had to be something I’d written. Well, this night I will have achieved my goal early. Join me in celebrating! I’m looking forward to exceeding this goal and writing more songs this year and getting more comfortable playing guitar and singing in front of people.
