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
