Fame
Fame
When at first we got acquainted
I was tense, somewhat aloof
But she kept on reassuring
Her persistence gave me proof
I would trust her for that reason
And she quickly lured me in
And I had no expectation
That the truth would soon set in
In her presence I felt happy
Celebrated, I must say
I was craving, while enjoying
All the while under her sway
There were moments of discernment
But these were just quick and short
Every process of awakening
She would stubbornly abort
So I reveled in her glitter
While it blinded mind and eyes
I accepted the assumptions
I believed the blatant lies
Cause the much inflated freedom
Left me feeling like a slave
All the praise and adoration
Only made me more depraved
And the evidence was valid
I was lonely, I felt lost
I was trapped in isolation
For I did not count the costs
As I look back I still shudder
For my life was not the same
Since the day I got acquainted
With that monster known as Fame.
