Sterile Empty Warehouse Sanctuary

Promises were made,

The brightest of the futures

The fame, the billions

The madness of being loved by all

And despite the fault of me

This sad bit of destiny

I suppose I was counting on it

To make me matter to anybody

And here I am, covered in ink

Working steady, doing all right

Yet I pine

To feel like a significant somebody

But for now, I'll take a break

Drink from the sink

Sit in the back

And stare out the windows

Enjoying the cool, the quiet

Dreaming of my time

To stand in front of everybody

And shine.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I never really thought that I wanted to be famous.
