Oh, pick me, pick me, I'm desperate to be exploited and treated like a vain, self-absorbed moron!
People make millions every year by playing on the desperation of artists who want to be famous but aren't prepared to put in the work required to "make it", or aware of the fact that you probably never will. Fame isn't the aim.
If you are published, become famous and achieve all your life's dreams, good luck to you -- but if all you ever manage is to write poetry that is honest, well thought out and truly representative of what you want to communicate, that's just as worthy of accolades in my book.

It could be worse
