To the Conductor Who Made Me Feel Worthless

To the Conductor Who Made Me Feel Worthless

A Chapter by Deborah Dhue

To the conductor who made me feel worthless,

I'm still here. I'm still singing. I even auditioned for a world-famous jazz band. I hated you for awhile - despised the very thought of you. And while I still greatly dislike you, you pompous egotistical troll, I realized that negative narcissists like you won't keep me on the ground. I have other people who lift me up and make me realize that you're just another hater. I've been working on my pitch and training my vibrato. You remember telling me that vibrato was terrible? Maybe it's because you sounded like a strangled turkey when you used it, idk. But I'm still singing, I'm writing songs, and I've even composed some piano pieces. I really do hope you are enjoying your retirement because honey: you needed a break. Anytime your mean little voice and hurtful comments eat away at the back of my mind, I just think of strangers who compliment me. Oh, and the fact that I did a scatting solo and won the whole choir a First Superior.
