The Famous Life

It comes and goes
sadness and pain
Celebrity status may take you by surprise
Only in the event to see you rise
Causing overwhelming attention too
Hectic life sometimes you wish it wasn't you
Paparazzi following your every step
Just waiting for you to lose it all
And have nothing left
Your life is highlighted because of your fame
Now because of it
Life is never the same
No one knows what you have to face
The life of fame
Is like running a race
You go from slow to fast
In the life that you live
Never expecting it's outcome
To be a take and a give

Outstanding truth in this Libre Donielle. Worldly fame, without God's love, is bound to pay a heavy price, for death's corruption is it's seed. Thanks for your comment. Yes one has to first love one's self, before love from one's own heart can flow, as self. Sincerely, Love, Moses
