Seldom thought, war that was never fought. The story that goes longer than never ending, the story that still makes me wonder why my first poem is in pending. Wanting to be famous but never getting crap, running in circles but never doing a lap. Wanting to offer something that gives nothing and get something back, runaway but never turn your back.

The author's comments:
Ever since I started listening to music I have been interested in the spotlight, being famous. Its a widely known thing to think, but its a craving I have had for a little while. This is a poem displaying it.

Recovered from autism?! That's amazing!!! This was pretty good! And you're right! Don't we ALL wanna be famous! I want to be a famous writer (don't think that'll ever happen ha!) My favorite part of this (or the part that really stood out in a good way) was "running in circles but never doing a lap." AWESOME!!! Would you mind checking out some of my work if you have time? Thanks!
