I don’t want to be famous.
I want to walk down my street,
with no care in the world,
looking like I don’t own clothes;
with a smile on my face and my sandals in my hand.

I don’t want to be famous.
I want to have many first dates.
Meet people for the first time,
and them; me,
with no prior opinion of me.

I don’t want to be famous.
I want to post fun pictures from nights out with friends,
dinner with family and loved one,
and not have it on a blog saying a different story

I don’t want to be famous.
I just want to live my life,
try lots of things,
fail at them,
and mostly have a good time.

I don’t want to be famous.
I just want to do what I love,
and be really good at it,
without all the attention and media it brings.

I don’t want to be famous,
I just want to be a grain of sand,
lost at the beach and simply blend in with the other…
