A Poetic Celebrity Confession-Yes I Did It My Way
I have been thinking about
And in the end started to shout
“This is my private thought!”
My mind wanted and sought
Then caught
Deciding suddenly to halt
Realizing something was at fault
After swimming in the fantasy pool
Visions teasing and cool
A dream filled with images black and white ending in color
Romantic stimulating coupled with a lover
Could I have reached a goal?
Turning nothing into gold
Or was this a pending nightmare
Ready for a scare
Secured having everything
Treated like a theatrical king
Due to the way I sing
Suddenly I wake
Feeling like something went into me like a stake
Reporter reported I was a fake
Retreated to my Momma’s home
Sat there with pie all alone
Not answering texts on the cell phone
This is what I am thinking about
Fame game I needed to get out
So, they ate me alive
Knowing I am just an entertaining Idol taking a dive
Called a honey in the hive
With talent and buzz
World knowing who I was
For a second minute or hour
I was a pop star celebrity with power
