A Celebrity Poem by yoonoos peerbocus

A Celebrity

Rating: 4.6


What lures everyone's eyes
without vision
makes them dream to be me,
is but my image at sale, a star
on the cat-walk
that denies me a life-
I am he who is not I who
enters the stage
before I seem to enter;
an echo with a real voice
like the truth of liars
that makes silence eloquent,
to whom all propose a toast
and a hug, losing every other wish,
as if a stranger with whom
I'm forced to live...
as if my own eyes have given up
their search and become his.how can I
stop a living without life
I lead within myself?

A great poem throwing light on the real heart of a celebrity that isnt suown to the world. Each one of us within our hearts dream to be a celebrity and once we are, we would really experience the pain of being a celebrity. Amazing write dear Peerbocus Sir!

This is very profound, Yoonoos. We all need attention. But without our ability to interact, attention becomes dehumanizing. Amazing verse!
