Fame

Fame

What would you do
For your 15 minutes of fame

Would you call your family out
Call your friends names?

Would you sell your soul
Lose all control
Take a beating
Claim “I wasn’t cheating”

What would you do
To get your face in the news
Would you make up a story
Or change your views?

Tabloids aren’t for me
It’s plain to see
I’ve found my inner soul
And have set myself free

I might not ever be famous
Or will the city give me its key
I’ve made my peace with myself
I choose to just be.
