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
