a new one

15 Minutes of Fame

I am one to sink into
Obscurity, devoid of
Significant achievement or
Action vindicated to
Ensure my place in history.
There I join my fellows,
My own outcasts from
Rememberance and my peers
In everything that has
Made us into nobodies
Together we take up our
Residencies, Front Porches-
Front seats, Center-
Perfect for viewing,
Unobtrusively, the world from
Which we were excluded,
Where we pensively observe
Those whose company we
Dare not aspire to, for Fear
Of Disappointment
And Rejection.

Obscurity will be my
Home, but for the love
Of my equally obscure friends,
I will reach behond
Achievement or action to
Justify my place in
Fame or Infamy.


normally i dont write with caps, but for this i felt like they added to the poem. i dont know where this came from, but the first line came to me one day, and i couldnt help but start writing.
