Potential Lyrics
I failed before I even wake up
It's hard to say so don't interrupt
Emotionality when things are changing doesn't worry me
But when the dust nestles in, schedule me my meltdown week
Cause it’s all potential
Stencil my days to be monumental
Indenture my dreams with timelines that seem parental
Every day's like an opening scene
Crash course on the cast and the dream
Facing your fears is the way we live here
The future hits like a train every night
Running makeup proves that I tried
Indulgent though it seems to binge cookie dough and Schitt's Creek
Hey, if they can thrive, I can make a meal or two this week
It’s all potential
Stencil my days to be monumental
Indenture my dreams with timelines that seem parental
Every day's like an opening scene
Crash course on the cast and the dream
Facing your fears to live up to your potential
Stencil my days to be monumental
Indenture my dreams with timelines that seem parental
Every day's like an opening scene
Crash course on the cast and the dream
Facing your fears is the way we live here
When I sit in silence,
Doubt rings like tinnitus
This is my next frontier
It’s all potential
Maybe my days will be monumental
Tend to my dreams and live up to my potential
Stencil my days to be calm and restful
Tend to my dreams with options that feel celestial
Every day's still an opening scene
I'll savor the cast and the dream;
Don't let the fear be what it is to live here

More about Jenna
When I say that I've moved a lot since I left home 10 years ago, I mean it. After my time at the Naval Academy, I lived in Kazakhstan, Turkey, Germany, Fort Benning, Wheaton, New York City, Nashville, and Fort Lauderdale, doing long distance on and off with my husband of 5 years.
I've been to countries that most people don't even know exist. How then do you describe yourself in a few words?
"Who, me? I'm a tri-racial, almost multi-lingual bartender with a bachelors in math, who tap dances and rollerskates, isn't afraid to eat horse, has mostly queer and autistic friends, is chronically ill, and could probably beat you up?"
