Lights, Camera, Reality

Contributed by Drapes on Monday, 31st July 2006 @ 08:56:28 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

Why is it always something,
Me accusing you to be
Misbehaving.

Your corrections are encouraged,
For you know yourself better than I,
But you should fear,
I know enough for your own good:

How far will you go
To be that
Athletic idol
And Mr. Personality?

I can just see you
Stumbling up that ladder of
Unlabeled pills
To unreachable heights,
Falling out of reality.

You dont act more than a rich celebrity
Unless the cameras are off.
Under the spotlight,
To the naked eye,
Youre the all American.
But to the eye of the forgotten beholder,
Your faults come pouring trough.
Now, dimming the lights,
Your perfection shines.
But the public lights
Are always ablaze.

A note of advice:
They really dont care.
Youre just a phase.

A phase for me too,
A chapter in my book,
A style to write with
If you figure youre being just.
The law of
One Of The Guys
Is unfair completely.
But you do not have to obey.
Although you cant choose discretely.

Public attraction:
Its either all or nothing.

Or

The real deal:
Stay thick through good and ugly.

Hard choice.
Make it known.
If you cant do it yourself,
Ill help you one last time.
Though, if its not your own decision,
I guess youre as good as
Already gone.

*I don't know how clear this poem is to everyone else but if you'd like to know what I was thinking when I wrote it, I'd be glad to interpret it for you if you e-mail me at ghostywingz@gmail.com. And comments are always welcome. Thank you!
