Ghostwriter

I want you to know my name,
Before you know my face.
I desire that the fame,
Surrounds each word I say.

I'd struggle in the light;
I'd like to hide away.
Let every word I write,
Be inside the picture frame.

I can relate to what you're saying here. I always feel like telling people that if they really want to know me, then all they need to do is read my poems.... I really enjoyed this write. Very nicely done!

Hmmm, there seem to be contradictions. If you are a ghost writer,you have a different name from your real one. and you want to stay hidden and yet have your words be seen. I really relate to the part about wanting your words seen with fame. but I want the whole ball of wax, my name up there in the lights WITH my picture!! hahaha. LIke that will ever happen. Love the poem.
