Something inside that pushes
Against the popular pull
Staring straight into the end of a point
Sharp and straight for miles
Just trying to take it all in

And then it branches
Comes around beside
Another comes behind

I have to see the end of these structures
Step back to see farther,
Longer

One of these spikes woddles into my skin
Pokes a hole in my body
And oddly enough I can see farther distance
Down the tube

Another branch and I'm dropped into a maze
Trying to see the world around me
Blurry to the point of blindness
With abstract debris

This cluster builds to tension
It became a fight
A constant struggle

Funny thing is,
  I'm used to it
Just on the unconnected side of things.

Doing the same thing a million times in a row will definitely affect your head.  Read and pratice and read and pratice and read and prati........ead a

..."Just on the unconnected side of things".
'Twould seem more likened to you being slightly beyond the limelight. When that popularity hits you, just remember to stay slightly beyond the limelight and "just on the unconnected side of things"... and you'll be not only okay, but alright!
Great, great poem. I enjoyed this one from start to finish!

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere
