The Next Best Thing
My musical talent never was up to par
All the other kids in the class could strum their guitar
And make it sound ok
But I was never one of them.
I still dreamed of sold out concerts
And screaming fans
But now that I'm older I've realized that, maybe,
I don't have to be a part of the band.
The one job that would bring me the most joy,
The next best thing,
Is waiting in the wings
Being the conductor of the show
Being the person who always knows
What to do next or where to go.
I want to be a band manager and watch a young band’s talent grow.
