Fame


Fame...
People strive days at a time to hold such a small word,
For such a small period of time...
it's almost like luck...
Or is it???...
What is fame???...
Is fame nothing more than people talking???...
Your face on the cover of a magazine???...
People all swarm for the prize knows as fame...
Fame is not forever...
Not like love or memories of warm skin in the mourning...
I would trade fame if I had it...
Trade it for a smile and a kiss on the mouth...
   For a kiss on the mouth would be real and not some plot for fortune...
So I ask again,
What is fame to you???
