Fame - What does it cost you?
What does fame cost you?
fame is attractive of course
with all the flashes of camera lights and people talking about you
the money that keeps pouring in and the material goodies too
fame means opportunities and cool facilities
people wanting your autograph
fame means being treated superior and being on top
there is no need to stoop or stop
fame, alas also means the object of gossip
where manipulations are done to make you the reason for magazine sales
fame is when people just do not care
whether you would like a moment of privacy at all
fame has its own price to pay
so, think hard before you play the game
(there are some who play dirty just to be famous but this poem is about sympathy towards famous people who often lose their right to stroll among the public just like an ordinary person)
@d-pend contest
entry for Announcing the Steemit School Poetry 100 Day Challenge! (Total Prize Fund 2000 SBD)
I write poems to express myself. I started writing at the age of twelve or so and some of my poems were published in magazines for children, a time when print still ruled the world. The internet and the blogging world has helped me write poems. Most of it was as I wrote earlier, to express myself and my thoughts. I have also been a ghostwriter.
Steemit has helped me write with freedom and also earned me very good friends who encourage me to write. I hope my readers will support me and also join in this contest. I am not a student of literature and so I do not consider myself an expert in poetry. It is the judge who will decide.
Please join the Steemit school now
