Meet Your Heroes
I've been told to never meet my heroes
That they will ultimately let you down
But I talked face to face with one of mine last night
And watched her front row from the crowd
I could tell by the look on her face
That she was honored to have me as her fan
And I was honored in return
When she reached out to shake my hand
I bought a cassette for her to sign
Because I was never gonna play it anyway
I already own all her music
And they are constantly on play
I told her she was the reason I came
And she smiled real big
Before I walked away she leaned in
And told me 9:30 was her gig
I had to walk out and smoke a cig
To my surprise I was starstruck and shaking
Trying to post a pic and talk about what happened
And it wasn't easy my fingers were vibrating
She got on and rocked the crowd
It was the best show I'd ever seen
Hanging from the lights, exploring the crowd
This amazing rapper queen
Whitney Peyton I was obviously a fan before
But I will keep trying to show the world who you are
And the passion and the rhythm you have
It's gonna take you very far
I'm just glad I got to witness your greatness
Before the rest of the world catches on
Keep on writing that gold
I'll be in the crowd cheering you on

Some celebrity 'heroes' make me sick - not literally though! It's just stuff, pride, vanity, etc! Rant over. lol.
Orchidee,
I feel you! But she was absolutely not like that at all!
Very good write! I have never heard of her before but you painted a very good picture of her. Loved it!
Christina,
Thank you! But don't just take my word for it you should find out for yourself!

A very good tribute and she seems genuine and warm, I like that in my heroes.
Lasergraph,
Me too!
Ahh good then!
Well penned, Luke. The rhyming is smooth, unforced. A lovely tribute to this performer you appreciate so much!
Thanks Louis I hope she gets a chance to see it!
