Not So Famous

If I could write like Edgar Allen Poe Then everyone would know my name Or maybe paint like Leonardo Da Vinci I would surely know my share of fame But I don't have any life changing words Or paintings to hang on the walls They'll be no hall of fame for me Or any other kind of famous halls If I could tell a captivating story Like the stories that Mark Twain told The things I'd write would be on display And be worth their weight in gold Or compose like Wolfgang Mozart My music would be admired for years A piece of history that will last forever A legacy that never disappears But if I were like any one of these here Then my work would go unheard And then who would tell my life's story As my soul gave birth to word
