Really good work you've done, beautifully written. I like how the first section sets up what the character want and wish for as well as what's keeping them from it. Clear contrast :)
Only thing that sounded a bit odd to me, in the last section:' I'll backing off'. Do you mean 'I'll back off', or 'I'm backing off'?
Either way I like the attitude in the ending :)
I felt this way a lot myself to be honest. I had to get away from trying to be known, trying to reach fame or fortune, and just do whatever I'm doing because I love it and it's fulfilling my life. Actually a good poem, thanks for sharing!
