I want to do something, not for you, something for me, something gleaming with everlasting renown.
Throughout this fraction of life, I have grazed this objective like a lover's fingers tracing the profound edge's of the starving artist's spine; I have tasted that moment of completion but only in the smallest dose, like that last drop that collects around the bottle's rim.
I cannot say this life has been mediocre, but I yearn for the exceptional. I'm tired of seeing lesser fools idolized by fools more talented than them. I'm tired of the chorus, let me write a new verse.
And though the greatest agony I bear is that I may never reach that fabled nirvana, I hold close the dreams that make believers out of fools like me.
