And yes, this is leading somewhere. :-)

How do I get myself into stuff like this?

Fame
by Andrew [1938Superman]

I don't want to be famous
I don't want you to remember me
Maybe you will anyway but it's not important
I'm not interested in being remembered
Just in you remembering what I said
  more...Wait a minute
Forget me
Not what I said
Just what was said
I want an audience to say it to
And I am trying to build one
Not for worship
Not to feed my ego
I find entertainment very entertaining
Yet I am not an entertainer
Not for wealth beyond wealth
Or power
Or prestige
Maybe enough money to live on
So I can give this the attention it deserves
But if not, don't worry about it.
I build an audience
Because I hope that whatever this is inside me
That I don't yet know how to say
That I don't yet know how to show
That burns through my veins
That races through my mind
That makes me laugh
Smile
Cry
Scream
Love
That somehow it might mean something to you
Because it means everything to me
Maybe it's worth something
Maybe not.
But I share it with you
With hope
Hope that it will make your world a little brighter
A little better
A little more peaceful
Hope that maybe it may help this world make a little more sense
Because if that could happen
If that's possible
When my time comes
Hopefully many years away
I could leave this world with a smile
Even if you don't remember me  less

Beauty
Andrew [1938Superman]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Truer words have seldom been spoken
But true words are seldom understood
I worship beauty
I place my altar at it's feet
It is not beauty that   more...can likely be found in the pages of your trendy magazines
It is not to be found in the faces or bodies of your surgically tailored goddesses
Beauty is Individuality
Independence
Honesty
Beauty is selflessness
Being humble
Freedom
Beauty is being exactly who you are
Scars and all
Despite what people think or say
Beauty is courage
Beauty is what reaches the depths of your soul
Beauty is who you are when no one is around
Beauty is the art and poetry of the world
The pursuit of what really matters
Not what we occupy ourselves with to kill time
Not the fear to be anything other than what you're expected to be
Beauty is emotion uncut
Feeling no longer restrained
Ideas no longer withheld
Beauty is the realization of a dream
Your dreams
The dreams of those you love
Not the expectations of a commercialized society that doesn't care about you
Trying to sell you a desperate need to belong to their elite few
Beauty
Real Beauty
Is truth  less

Here's some more of my poetry. Hope you like it.

Race
Andrew [1938Superman]

Why do you hate me?
What did I do?
I was just born the way I am
So was everyone else
So were you
Why do judge me
With that hurtful look   more...in your eye
You don't even know me
Do you even want to try?
Do you really hate me?
You can tell that with just a look?
You might need to go a little deeper
Than just the cover of the book
I am more than you could imagine
More than stereotypes allow
I'm not dumb enough to be what you think I am
Are you starting to see me a new way now?
Do I somehow seem different?
Am I now more human to you?
But would I have been if I'd remained silent?
I guess there's still a lot of work to do
We're headed in the right direction
I'm proud of what we've done
But the pace is still too slow going
And there is more of this race still to run  less

Anyone?
