Me Through a Prism
Lyrics by Sheila Kaufman, Music by Robin Lea Fritche

Sometimes I feel like a mix of all colors
Blended together to Black,
Clothed head to toe so no one will notice me
Feelings too dark to unpack

I know inside, when all the joy flees from me
It's prob'ly born out of fear,
What if I show myself as I am
And only my critics appear?

Chorus 1:
I need to see
Me through a prism,
Each color splashed out on the wall,
The rainbow of colors I know are inside,
The ones that are hard to recall.
I need to see
Me through a prism
The light shining bright to my soul,
Each glittering ray on full display
Whenever the dark takes control.

Some days I know I'm fun and I'm talented,
At least that's what some people say,
How do I hold on to those feelings
When all of my skies have gone grey?

Chorus 2:
I need to see
Me through a prism
Each color splashed out on the wall
The rainbow of colors I know are inside
The ones that are hard to recall.
I need to see
Me through a prism
The light shining bright to my soul
Each glittering ray
On full display,
Working to get there someday.

Hi, I'm Tom, and thanks for stopping by my page!

I started making music at 10 years old with my Casio MZ 2000, and now, at 35, I'm still creating from the heart. No training, no fancy software, no edits. Just me, a keyboard, and whatever comes out in the moment. Every track you hear is made in one take, raw and unfiltered.

If you'd like to support me, check out my tracks on Bandcamp here https://trialerror1.bandcamp.com. Every listen, share, or donation means the world to me.

I make all my music from home, no studio time, just passion and trial and error. I’m always eager to connect with others, share experiences, and get feedback to keep growing. Whether you’re a fellow musician or just a listener, your thoughts and advice are always appreciated. Feel free to reach out - I'm happy to respond to all messages.

Thank you for your support and for listening!
