No Damn Fame

No more lyrics to this song
No more autographs with this gold pen
No stage or lights for this great thespian actor
No more cameras or pictures for this performer
No motion pictures or TV commercials for this superstar
Now, I am standing here, silent, out in this cold pouring rain
No more crowds and no damn fame

Nice work, Gregory. Have you read "Success" by Emily Dickinson? Your poem has much in common with that one and another by her, "I'm Nobody." Have a great weekend!
