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.

Wendy: Many yearn for fame but few can really handle it. I've been lucky. I've never even gotten close. :o) You're well on your way in my book so brace yourself. Keep them coming. oldbuck

Excellent. Loved it. So few realise how easily they sway to fake.
