Cored by a Tinge of Blue

Remember where you came from
And what you had to do
To achieve your present outcome
Before your life was through.
Your life has reached duality,
Rumor is now the known,
And your stereotyped personality
Has assumed a life of its own.
Now that you are famous,
Your private life is through,
Your flame of fame is flickering, 
But it’s cored by a tinge of blue.

Poem sounds like a small town tune. Gossips prevail. This poem lauds the self-made man. Laurels to he who forges onward. Nice read.

Unfortunately, there is no privacy in fame and fame can be fleeting.
