Fame

I could be famous.
Through laughter, then evil laughter. 
Maybe sleep. 

I could be famous if I used all my power. 
Or I could be desperate. 
In thinking things. 

Somehow, secretly. 
Everyone became more famous than me. 
No one talks about it. 

Becoming more and more…
Reclusive. 
Writing things down. 

I use my powers, but they can sense it. 
When I use my powers, I tear down energy…
Learning to become famous. 

Play guitar, drums, or the banjo.
It’s all about the instrument. 
Inside and everywhere. 

I really could be famous someday. 
I don’t know how. 
Or maybe I’ll just stand here. 

Then I fainted.
