Dear Gisee
Modern Satire
I wrote to you many times Gisee. I seen your picture in the famous magazine. And you looked amazing besides your parents. You became great. And you are on your way to being a legend. I remember when I first wrote to you. You could not make up your mind. You thought deep about life, love, and family. You were wanting to live freely and enjoy life. You were so young and curious. I could see and hear the youthfulness. I could see and hear the excitement. And you were so funny and lovable. I could not stop searching you. And I know you had many suitors and I could not be in the running. I just thought to be your super fan. To love you as a friend. To love you as a supporter. To help you reach your destiny and to help me find my way in life. And I know your job is complicated so I will stand in your corner whenever you need me. And family I understand the difficulties of family from my past but I never thought about it being public. But you carried yourself with grace and dignity. i hope to see you one day either in concert or in person sincerely. And I sought the letter like the other ones before me. I don't know why I wanted to dream but I did. i don't know why I wanted to be apart of her world but I did. I talked to Gisee before I started my career. I was just a writer. And it was hard in entertainment finding an agent. I remember singing on voicemail and on the phone. I remember writing resumes. I remember going in competitions. I remember using all my smarts to do something. And after sometime I left Gisee who inspired me alone. She was already doing great. She had big concerts and her voice was strengthened. She was moving like fire on stage. She was fierce and funny with friends and fans. And she eventually gotten married. And she was happy. I started my professional career and I was performing many times in churches and events. And I eventually became apart of the prestigious ASCAP. I was getting buzz about my first two albums which were circling the globe. And I was wondering what would college do for me? I missed two auditions to be apart of some Gospel Record Labels and to sing with a world renowned choir like Richard Smallwood's Vision. i also was offered a music minister position. But I did not know. I wanted to learn more. They say knowledge is power. So I studied and studied to become better and better at writing and I kept doing my career. And when I was about to finish college, Gisee showed up undercover. She said Barry Barry you haven't written me in so long. I thought we were friends. Friends don't do that to each other. And I heard your albums. And i said Gisee I thought you were too famous to see me. I didn't think you care. She said I was busy Barry but gosh you could have stood by me. I went through a lot. I changed. I don't know if you can look at me the same or forgive me. I said Gisee I forgive you. You inspired me to start my own career. And you know what I got nominated for Best Song in R&B/Soul consecutively many times and this is my fifth time getting Aritst of the Year nomination. Gisee said Alright Barry. Can we be friends again? I said Sure Gisee. She said Now I am married now with kids but there's nothing wrong with having a guy friend to keep you in check and help you balance. I said I could help. Gisee I am talking to someone but I can make time for friends. You always was special to me and in my eyes and I am sure in other people's eyes too. And Gisee kissed me on the cheek and said Barry I will always love you because you are a great friend message me anytime. Here look for Gisee Fierce. And this time I will respond. As she handed me her name, email and number and left. And that's how Gisee and I got our friendship and we both respected each other and continue to inspire each other in the entertainment and music biz just because we both wanna make it to the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame.
