An Letter From Me To You
My dear fellow musical colleagues, I’m writing to you because I have finally learned my lesson. I have been exposed as an artist, but I’m still going through this phase. Someone asked me: Are you an artist? Are you writing songs? Have you won awards? You are quite right; I finally admit it. That lesson is on my mind, and I believe it to be true. For that statement, I’m sorry to say that I’m experiencing it at the same time.
I want to respond to the statement and express what I hope for, which I am sure helps me understand my thoughts. I am reconsidering my identity as a man, but I am only human, and I’m not perfect. Sometimes, it is true to say that I must acknowledge the truth has finally arrived. It’s hard for me to let go of it, but I’m not letting it go. That being said, to my musical colleagues and fans, I want you to know how I feel. It breaks my heart to face the music I create. Last year, I was unable to attend two events. But this year, I want to fight back for what is right for me.
I realize that my music will move forward. I don’t care what they do or say from here on out. I felt defeated, but I will embrace the truth right here and right now. As an artist, I must confess that I feel ashamed of myself. However, that promise I made brings me to tears. Therefore, I seek honesty and understanding in my artistry and creativity. I have come a long way from the bottom I’m in; the top remains in my heart, mind, and soul.
My musical colleagues, I must tell you that I understand how I feel now; it needs to be said and done. You know, I’m just here for what’s real. I feel like giving up right now, but I won’t, and I can’t. Yet in truth, my music will NEVER fade away. I have believed in music since I was young. This journey will never stop.
However, I will take responsibility now, knowing that my journey will never be the end of me. I feel sorry for myself and ashamed that my musical journey is now on hold. I hope God will protect me through every setback, and I should know better because of that. I will sustain and remain the man, artist, and person I am today.
As I close this letter, please keep me in your prayers, thoughts, and motivational experiences. I want to thank God today for the blessings that will encourage me. I beg God to forgive me. I’m willing and able to keep the faith, and I will continue to create good music. I reassure you all from the bottom of my heart. If I say anything that you all want me to share, I do respect myself. I ask God to keep blessing and forgiving me. I thank you in advance. Most of all, I truly believe every second, minute, hour, week, month, and year.
After all I’ve been through for fifteen years since my mom’s passing, I will remain as determined and dependable as I can be. It’s here, now, and forever. Once a Southern Underdog, always a Southern Underdog of the Blues.
Yours for the love, loyalty, peace, faith, devotion, respect, and true musicianship.
