CLAIM TO FAME


When you cant TAME the heart that wants to CLAIM the FAME you realise that would give NAME to the life you AIM to PROCLAIM
Your mastered art will enable you to live a life where your rightful wish is not to be another PLAIN being.

Leaving a mark on the very world you will one day live behind, you become a living legend
Somewhat a symbol of accomplishment and success
A makeshift Clark Kent aspiring to be the Man of Steel himself making an impact in the lives of those who look up to them.

Now we in the 21st century, fame a GAME played by millions, wanting it for the power money and glory that accompanies.

When being who you are isn’t enough, but we must nowcamouflage our true selves in this fake appearance
One that is accepted and wildly jeered by its adoring fans
The same adoring fans who conveniently “forgot” to show their allegiance when your name was nothing but a group of letters tied together to form an unidentified name 
‘Allegiance’, ‘Loyalty’ these are nothing but boomerangs
Just propelled from one end to another, used as a children figurine
You stare at yourself; a figure glaring straight back wields a familiar aura
Alas this aura is modified, changed to fit the world’s expectations
You are unable to recognise yourself…a mere reflection of ones’ former glory
 Feelings of desperation and loneliness creep in
You want out!
OUT ... OUT … OUT … is your only desire
But your own claim to fame soon plots your demise
Its over… OVER…OVER…
You are trapped, trapped in this world-absorbed fame
Nothing genuine, nothing real
In a blink of an eye it collapses
All the Jenga pieces comes tumbling down
Your empire…Your sanctuary…all gone…
C’EST FINI
