Disgrace

Disgrace
Surrounded by adulations, you flaunt your expectations. 
Undue repercussions, desiring gratuitous acknowledgement of your affluence and good fortune. 
Reminders of turbulent open tribulations, slamming the door and watching you crestfallen as you fall from grace. 
What you call a miracle intervention when really you should do penance for the chaos unleashed.
Pedantic overflow snuffs out my exhilaration.
Is my preoccupation really but a side effect of my own disgrace?
