Behind the song “Trying to Please”
This song emanated from a disagreement I had when I was 8 years old. I left the house, got on my bike, and rode down by the railroad track where the bike slid on gravel and glass and I fell off – ending up with a huge gash in my shin. I interpreted this as punishment for talking back. . .
Somehow, I got the message that other’s voices and opinions were more valuable than mine; and I held on to a fear of disapproval. The title “Trying to Please” is a rejection of this long-lived scenario.
I believe we should all have a voice.
I believe we deserve to be comfortable in our own skin.
I believe we each offer something of value . . .
