I love seeing how some celebrities are famous one day and then the next they go out and completely ruin everything that they worked for. I'm not saying they are entirely to blame, the media is a reason for their downfall, and it makes me sad that our society enjoys watching it. I don't think I would ever wish to be famous, I would like to be someone behind the scenes: a songwriter, a producer, a journalist, not a celebrity. The saying goes that you really only have fifteen minutes of fame and fortune. This is true for most out there now, but there are the few that extend those few minutes into a lifetime and I applaud them for it. This piece is looking at the dark, horrible side of fame, I'm not saying that there isn't a great and fabulous side. Hope you enjoy!
Cameras are flashing
Lights are blinding me
Trying to run and hide
Somewhere they cannot see
It is difficult to adjust to
What comes with fame
Wish I could go back
Make everything the same
Your private life is
Shown on the tv screen
It shocks me to know
People can be so mean
Succeeding in this world
Always comes with a price
Most only care about money
They just pretend to be nice
They would quickly let you
Drown in your own blood
They can't wait to drag
Your career through the mud
Fifteen positive minutes
Is all that you get
So hurry, make it last
The timer has been set
You are only relevant
If you make the headlines
You are wasting away
They already see the signs
You get the most attention
Once you are dead
They only care about the bad
Never the good life you led
Being famous is a wish
Most cannot handle
You're easy to get rid of
Like the flame of a candle
A piece of advice
Careful what you wish for
People ruined their lives
Because they craved more
