Reaching For The Stars Poem by Phil Soar

I reached for stars but couldn't quite fulfill it
The lengths I went to just seek out my fame
To hope that one day I would then be famous
And everyone on earth would know my name

I reached for heights I thought that I could climb to
I tried for years to build up my esteem
To become someone special that others strive to
Be like, and share my fundamental dream

And now that I have not achieved my target
And my attempts at fame have kicked the bucket
I'm just about to go down to the market
And stand up on a soap box and shout 'F**K IT!
