Craving

Everybody in their own way
it seems
crave recognition
praise

not just from time to time
but all the time

especially artists
and entertainers
comedians more than any

desperate
they feed on laughs
applause
knowing nods of the head

and if the craving isn't satisfied
they tumble into a void
a scary, lonely place

fearing worthless
is their real name

worthless
useless
nothing special

they wake up
in a dread sweat
fearing truth
will find them
