My Writing Precedes Me

I wish I had written the poem 
That everyone else has been trying to write.
I wish I had written the masterpiece poem 
I know is in me, but is not coming forward
To help me out.

My name is not important.
My rank is non-existent.
But my writing, yes, my writing precedes me.
And it shall survive my fleshly death 
It shall survive my everything death

It is not that I am stressed, for it is not my way
But I am impatient with the perfect poem I know
Is somewhere inside my dendrite highway
Waiting for permission

But I cannot give that, for after it appears
It will only be downhill, right?
