i wish i were a musician

strumming away at the gui-tar
chording and chorusing
writing songs that others would like
that stick in your head - earworms

i wish i were a musician
and wear skinny jeans and v-neck t-shirts
and plaid - something plaid
and a hat

i wish i were a musician
and everyone would want to know me
and think me a poet
and want to be my muse
fcuk me love me hate me adore me

i wish i were a musician
and play gigs and have fans
who'd sing my songs
and love when i played covers
and i would rock 'em

i wish i were a musician
all hip, cool, mod, trendy, indy, awesome
with my own myspace page
and itunes
more than three chords per song

i wish i were a musician
then the words i would write wouldn't just be for me

but i'm not a musician
i own a gui-tar
i know chords
i sing
i am

i'm glad i'm not a musician though
i would only wish i were something else...
