What is Fame?
December 22, 2012
Fame is the feeling of public adoration
The certainty of thinking you've become an inspiration
Fame is first adorned, embellished, locked behind a door
With glamour, thrill, appeal and talent
‘Til it’s found to have a flaw
So once the mask has lifted
It reveals distorted pictures
Filled with judgement, pressure and conflicts with
Happiness you once depicted
Fame is fickle
Fame is brief
Fame depends on your belief
