Poema is an American acoustic singer-songwriter duo from Albuquerque, New Mexico. The group, was formerly signed with Tooth & Nail Records and has released two EPs and a full-length album with them.
Elle and Shealeen Puckett, sisters born and raised in the American Southwest, comprise the band Poema. The female duo has been playing music ever since they can remember. At ten and twelve, the equal and opposites would walk to the local gas station to play Elvis covers for anyone filling up that day until they made enough money to buy candy. They were surrounded by music their entire lives, starting with their parents being in bands to playing music since pre-adolescence. The sisters never planned to be professional musicians until an extremely positive reception following a benefit show in 2008 in their hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico. After pondering shortly after the show, the sisters formed Poema, won a "Battle of the Bands" competition and recorded two demos.
Pressure's pushing me down
Pushing me up, pushing me upside down
World keeps spinning around
Keeps spinning around
You keep swimming so we won't drown
Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose
But I don't give up and I won't give an excuse
All it takes is a spark to ignite you when
When your world is falling to pieces
All it takes is a little confidence
You know it's never too late
A little faith is all it takes
People putting me down
They're putting me up
Some people turn their head and frown
Stay true, true to your dreams
Even though it may seem like the road up ahead is steep
You can't stop me cause I can't get enough
Keep it coming, bring it on
You know it just make me tough
All it takes is a spark to ignite you when
When your world is falling to pieces
All it takes is a little confidence
You know it's never too late
A little faith is all it takes
No matter what's on your mind
Whatever you're trying to find
Always try to do it right
And don't give up without a fight
Whether you're a movie star
Or living the small-town life
Pressure's pushing me down
Pushing me up, it's pushing me upside down
Stay true, true to your dreams
Even though it may seem like the road up ahead is steep
Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose
But I don't give up and I won't give an excuse
All it takes is a spark to ignite you when
When your world is falling to pieces
All it takes is a little confidence
Don't you know that's never too late...
All it takes is a spark to ignite you when
When your world is falling to pieces
All it takes is a little confidence
You know it's never too late
